Summary:
The 63736 zip code is home to a single high school, Thomas W. Kelly High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Scott County R-IV District, which is ranked 275 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Thomas W. Kelly High School has a 96.3% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive indicator of student success. However, the school faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6% and significantly lower test scores in Algebra I and Algebra II compared to the state averages. Additionally, nearly half of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can present additional challenges.
While the school's performance in some areas, such as Biology I, matches or exceeds the district and state averages, the significant gaps in Algebra I and Algebra II test scores indicate that the school may be underperforming compared to its peers. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these areas of concern and improve the school's overall performance.
