Summary:
The 63122 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the highly-ranked Kirkwood R-VII school district. This district is a standout performer, with multiple schools earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranking among the top in the state.
The two middle schools, North Kirkwood Middle and Nipher Middle, are particularly impressive, ranking 7th and 27th out of 438 middle schools in Missouri respectively. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 80% of 6th graders proficient or better in math and over 70% in English Language Arts. At the elementary level, W.W. Keysor Elementary stands out for its outstanding math performance, with over 80% of 3rd graders and nearly 75% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better.
The lone high school in the area, Kirkwood Senior High, is also a top performer, boasting a 97.5% 4-year graduation rate and a low 0.5% dropout rate. Its students excel on state assessments, with 76.1% proficient or better in English II compared to the state average of 52.9%. While the district overall demonstrates a strong commitment to equity, with relatively low free/reduced lunch rates across schools, there are some indications that the school serving the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students, George R. Robinson Elementary, may need additional resources and support to ensure all students have access to the same educational opportunities.
