The 63090 zip code area has only one middle school, Washington Middle School, which serves as the sole representative for this region. While it is the only option for middle school students in this area, the school has demonstrated a strong academic performance, outpacing the state average in several key proficiency metrics.
Washington Middle School is ranked 138 out of 438 Missouri middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 4-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 3-star rating in 2022-2023. Academically, the school excels in areas such as 7th grade Math, 8th grade Math and Science, and 7th and 8th grade ELA, all of which surpass the state average proficiency rates.
However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16% is higher than the state's average, indicating a potential area for improvement. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 30.78%. Despite these challenges, the school's well-resourced learning environment, with a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average, suggests a commitment to providing a quality education to its students.
