Summary:
The 64052 zip code area in Missouri is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Independence 30 school district. While the district is ranked 238 out of 367 in the state and has a 2-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out.
Procter Elementary has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.6 and the highest per-student spending at $13,578. It also has relatively strong test scores, with 4th and 5th-grade math and ELA proficiency rates above the district and state averages. Three Trails Elementary has the highest 4th-grade math proficiency rate at 49%, significantly higher than the district and state averages, and also has strong 3rd-grade ELA proficiency.
However, the schools in the 64052 zip code face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (31.7%) and very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (81.56% to 85.87%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. While the schools generally perform below the district and state averages on MAP assessments, the variability in school performance suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the successes of schools like Procter Elementary and Three Trails Elementary to improve educational outcomes across the area.
