The 63501 zip code area in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Kirksville Primary and Ray Miller Elementary. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade and are part of the Kirksville R-III school district.
While neither school stands out as exceptional, the data reveals some notable differences between the two. Kirksville Primary has a significantly higher per-student spending of $15,930, compared to $10,542 at Ray Miller Elementary. However, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.9%. Ray Miller Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 57.26%, compared to 50.34% at Kirksville Primary, which may indicate differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations.
In terms of academic performance, Ray Miller Elementary's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts across grades 3-5. This suggests room for improvement, particularly in core subject areas. The student-teacher ratios are similar, with Kirksville Primary at 11.1 and Ray Miller Elementary at 10.7.
