Schools in Zip Code 63136

The 63136 zip code area in Missouri is home to 15 schools across three different school districts: Jennings, Riverview Gardens, and Hazelwood. The schools include 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 1 high school, with no alternative schools in the area.

Among the standout schools, Jennings High School has the lowest statewide ranking but a relatively high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate. Moline Elementary (Riverview Gardens) and Keeven Elementary (Hazelwood) have the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts within their respective districts. However, the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the schools, with most schools scoring well below state averages in these subjects.

A key concern across the schools is the very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.2% to 58.1%, which likely contribute to the low proficiency rates. Additionally, most schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While funding per student varies, it does not appear to be the sole factor in student achievement. The data suggests an opportunity for the schools and districts to collaborate and share best practices to address these challenges and raise achievement levels across the board.
