Summary:
The 63957 zip code area is home to three schools - Clearwater Elementary, Clearwater Middle, and Clearwater High - all of which are part of the Clearwater R-I school district. Unfortunately, the data suggests that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state-level metrics across a range of key indicators.
None of the schools in the 63957 zip code area stand out as high-performing, with all three institutions ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Missouri. Clearwater High, in particular, is ranked in the bottom 10% of high schools statewide. The schools also struggle with low proficiency rates on standardized tests, with students consistently underperforming the state average in Math, English Language Arts, and Science. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.7% to 24.7%, which may be contributing to the overall academic challenges.
Socioeconomic factors appear to be a significant challenge for the schools in the 63957 zip code area, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.75% at Clearwater High to 69.05% at Clearwater Middle. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools seem to be struggling to effectively allocate resources and address the needs of their student populations, as indicated by the persistent underperformance over time.
