Summary:
The 63877 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Central Elementary and East Elementary) and 1 high school (South Pemiscot High) - all of which serve a predominantly low-income student population within the South Pemiscot County R-V district.
While South Pemiscot High has a relatively strong 93.3% 4-year graduation rate, the schools in this area generally struggle academically, with very low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to Missouri averages. Central Elementary has the largest enrollment with 270 students, while East Elementary has just 37 students. All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.8% to 28.2%, which can significantly impact student learning. Spending per student varies widely, from $7,309 at East Elementary to $11,832 at Central Elementary, suggesting potential resource inequities between the schools.
Overall, the data indicates the schools in this zip code face significant challenges in terms of academic outcomes, attendance, and resource allocation. Targeted interventions and support will likely be needed to drive improvements and ensure students in this high-need community receive the education they deserve.
