Summary:
The 63664 zip code area is home to two high-performing middle schools, Trojan Intermediate and John A. Evans Middle, which serve students in grades 5-8 within the Potosi R-III school district. Despite serving a student population where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, these schools have consistently high test scores that exceed state averages, particularly in math and English language arts.
Trojan Intermediate stands out with over 60% proficiency in 6th grade math and over 55% proficiency in 5th and 6th grade English language arts, well above state averages. John A. Evans Middle also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri middle schools in recent years and demonstrating strong proficiency in 7th grade math and 8th grade English language arts. Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which likely contribute to their academic success.
While the schools excel in many areas, their 8th grade math proficiency rates lag slightly behind the state average, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in this subject. Overall, these two middle schools are delivering excellent educational outcomes for their high-need student populations, providing valuable lessons that could be applied to other schools serving similar demographics.
