Summary:
The 63343 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Elsberry R-II school district. Based on the available data, Ida Cannon Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with a 4-star statewide ranking and stronger test scores compared to the other schools and state averages. In contrast, Clarence Cannon Elementary and Elsberry High School appear to be performing below average, with lower statewide rankings and test scores that trail the state's.
Key metrics across the schools reveal some concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.1% to 21.1%, significantly above the state average. The schools also show varying levels of economic disadvantage, with Clarence Cannon Elementary having the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 42.9%. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not seem to directly correlate with academic outcomes, as the school with the highest spending (Clarence Cannon Elementary) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (Ida Cannon Middle) have the most divergent performance.
Despite the challenges, Elsberry High School stands out with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 97.9%. However, the school's lower test scores suggest students may be struggling to achieve proficiency in core academic areas. Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors driving the performance differences between the schools, particularly the standout performance of Ida Cannon Middle School compared to the other institutions in the area.
