Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63116

Summary:

The 63116 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The schools in this area are generally struggling, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and serving economically disadvantaged student populations.

Among the standout schools, Gateway Science Academy-South Ele, a public charter elementary school, has the highest student enrollment at 414 students and the highest state-wide ranking, though it is still only in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools. Momentum Academy Tower Grve South, a public charter elementary/middle school, has some of the strongest test scores, particularly in mathematics, compared to the other schools in the data set.

The data highlights significant disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes between the schools in this zip code area and the state as a whole. Several schools have very high chronic absenteeism rates, with Woerner Elementary, Long Middle Community Education Center, Mann Elementary, and Oak Hill Elementary all reporting over 50% chronic absenteeism. Addressing these inequities should be a priority for St. Louis City policymakers and education leaders.
