Summary:

The 63839 zip code is home to a single high school, Cooter High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school maintains a high graduation rate, its academic performance is consistently low, ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri high schools. Proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state average, with only 13.6% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 15% in Biology I, compared to state averages of 41.5% and 37.4%, respectively.

Cooter High faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.8% and a student population with a high percentage (48.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student body. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,284, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of funds to support student success.

While Cooter High maintains a 100% four-year graduation rate, the school's overall performance and the needs of its student population suggest that significant improvements are necessary to provide a high-quality education. Addressing issues such as low proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and the unique challenges faced by the low-income student population should be priorities for the school and the Cooter R-IV district to enhance educational outcomes for the community.
