Summary:
The 63336 zip code area in Pike County, Missouri is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Pike County R-III school district. While Clopton Elementary stands out as a top-performing school in the state, the district's middle and high schools, Clopton Middle and Clopton High, are not performing as well.
Clopton Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Missouri elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly above the state averages, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scoring over 70% proficient or better, compared to the state average of around 40% proficiency. In contrast, Clopton High and Clopton Middle have 1-star ratings and rank in the bottom half and bottom 20% of Missouri schools, respectively.
While the schools in the 63336 zip code area share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, the district's investment in resources, with spending per student ranging from $11,019 to $12,736, suggests a commitment to supporting student success. However, the stark disparity in performance between Clopton Elementary and the other two schools in the district presents an opportunity for further analysis and potential interventions to ensure all students in the area receive a high-quality education.
