Summary:
The 63954 zip code area is home to two schools - Neelyville High and Neelyville Elementary, both part of the Neelyville R-IV district. While the schools have shown improvement in their statewide rankings in recent years, they still perform below the state average in certain academic areas, particularly higher-level math subjects and 5th grade Science.
Neelyville High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 86.4%, but struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6%. The school performs above the state average in 7th grade Math and Science, but falls behind in Algebra II and Geometry. In contrast, Neelyville Elementary also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6% and performs below the state average in 5th grade Science, despite exceeding the state average in 6th grade Math.
Both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with 56.83% of Neelyville High students and 65.85% of Neelyville Elementary students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors that could impact academic outcomes. The district should continue to focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, improving performance in weaker academic areas, and ensuring equitable distribution of resources to support the needs of all students.
