Summary:
The 63388 zip code has only one public elementary school, Williamsburg Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with 182 students. The school is part of the North Callaway County R-I school district, which is ranked 239 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Williamsburg Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 23.4%, compared to 41.6% for the district and 41.4% for the state. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was also significantly lower at 18.6%, compared to 22.8% for the district and 42.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is concerning and higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $12,146 for the 2021-2022 school year and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 9.7, the academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.49% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the specific needs of Williamsburg Elementary and its student population.
