Summary:

The 64012 zip code area in Belton, Missouri is home to 5 elementary schools that serve grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. These schools are part of the Belton 124 school district, which is ranked 191 out of 367 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the schools, Wilckens STEAM Academy @Hillcrest stands out with the highest student population of 482 and the highest statewide school rank, ranking 268th out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate of 65.7% in 2024-2025 is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Kentucky Trail Elementary also performs well, ranking 301st out of 900 Missouri elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with higher-than-average math proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grades.

However, the data reveals a significant disparity in the performance and rankings of the schools within the same district, with some schools, such as Gladden Elementary and Cambridge Elementary, lagging behind in test scores and rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be influencing the success of individual schools, and further investigation into the specific practices and strategies employed by the standout schools could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the district.
