Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63852

Summary:

The 63852 zip code area is home to two schools - Holcomb Elementary and Holcomb High, both part of the Holcomb R-III school district. While Holcomb High has shown signs of improvement, the schools in this area face significant challenges related to student poverty, chronic absenteeism, and academic performance that will require targeted interventions and support to address.

Holcomb Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 635 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 606 out of 900 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also fluctuated between 1 and 2 stars. In contrast, Holcomb High has seen more stability in its statewide ranking, going from 308 out of 358 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 to 219 out of 367 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has improved from 1 star to 3 stars over this time period.

Both schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0% in 2023-2024, which likely contributes to their lower academic performance compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools' 100% free/reduced lunch rate indicates a high-poverty student population, which can present significant challenges. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools, 11.8 at Holcomb Elementary and 11.5 at Holcomb High, could be an asset, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
