Summary:
The 63664 zip code area in Missouri is home to 4 schools, including 1 high school, 2 middle schools, and 1 elementary school, all part of the Potosi R-III school district. The district is ranked 103 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Potosi High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 149 out of 352 Missouri high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 98.0%. The school also performed well on English II and English I End of Course exams, with proficiency rates above the state average. Another standout is Trojan Intermediate (Middle School), which demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates above the state average in several subjects, including Mathematics and English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals some challenges faced by the schools in the 63664 zip code area. All four schools had 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Additionally, all schools had a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. While the schools generally perform below the state average on some standardized tests, the district may have opportunities to learn from the successful practices of the higher-performing schools and implement targeted interventions to improve overall academic achievement.
