Summary:

The 5 elementary schools located in the 63137 zip code area, all part of the Riverview Gardens school district, are consistently underperforming, with no clear standouts. These schools serve a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating extremely high levels of poverty in the community.

Across all metrics, the schools struggle, with chronic absenteeism rates around 58% - more than double the state average. Academic performance is also dismal, with the highest-performing school, Glasgow Elementary, still ranking in the bottom 10% of Missouri elementary schools. Proficiency rates in math, science, and English Language Arts are well below state averages, with the majority of schools having less than 10% of students performing at grade level.

Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending that exceeds the state average, the schools in the 63137 zip code area are failing to provide a quality education for their students. Addressing the systemic issues within the Riverview Gardens school district, such as the alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, will be crucial in order to improve educational outcomes for these students.
