Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 63115 zip code - Yeatman-Liddell Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 392 students. This public school is ranked 438 out of 438 Missouri middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing middle schools in the state.
Yeatman-Liddell Middle School consistently struggles with low academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the St. Louis City and Missouri state averages across all grade levels and subject areas tested. For example, in 2024-2025, only 1.3% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 17.2% in St. Louis City and 45.5% statewide. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 50.1% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating significant challenges in student engagement and attendance.
Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,034 for the 2021-2022 school year, the school's outcomes have not improved, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying challenges. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as improving attendance, providing additional academic and social-emotional resources, and addressing the needs of the high-poverty student population, as 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
