Summary:

The zip code 63436 is home to a single high school, Mark Twain Senior High, which is part of the Ralls County R-II school district. While the school has a strong 98.3% four-year graduation rate, it has struggled to maintain its performance and ranking compared to other high schools in Missouri.

Mark Twain Senior High's statewide ranking has declined from 252 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 292 out of 367 in 2024-2025, indicating a drop in performance relative to its peers. The school's proficiency rates on the MAP/End of Course exams in Algebra I and Biology I are significantly lower than the state averages, with the Algebra I proficiency rate at just 20.9% compared to the state average of 45.4% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Socioeconomic factors may also be impacting the school's performance, as 33.2% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $9,495, which is below the state average. Despite these challenges, Mark Twain Senior High maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 for the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a strength in addressing the school's academic performance and student engagement.
