Summary:
The 63048 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Senn-Thomas Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 340 students. The school is part of the Dunklin R-V school district, which is ranked 181 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Senn-Thomas Middle School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 152nd out of 451 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 but dropping to 267th out of 438 in 2024-2025. Student achievement on state assessments is generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with only 12.3% to 27.4% of students proficient or better in Math compared to state averages of 32.7% to 45.5%. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2%.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be well-resourced, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1 and per-student spending of $10,653 for the 2021-2022 school year. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50%) suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic needs, which could contribute to the academic performance concerns.
