Summary:
The 63855 zip code area has only one school, Senath-Hornersville Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Senath-Hornersville C-8 school district. This middle school has consistently struggled, with a low statewide ranking, below-average student performance on state assessments, and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Senath-Hornersville Middle School's performance metrics are concerning, with only 17.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 38.2%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 230 and 298 out of 451 and 438 Missouri middle schools, respectively, and it has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the low academic performance, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which could indicate a focus on providing more individualized attention to students. However, the data suggests that the school is struggling to effectively support its student population and address the underlying factors contributing to the academic challenges. Further investigation into resource allocation, teacher quality, and specific challenges faced by the community would be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and help the school better serve its students.
