Summary:
The 64110 zip code in Missouri has only one middle school, Frontier School Of Excellence-M, a public charter school serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 73 students. Despite relatively high spending per student and small class sizes, the school's performance has been declining, with a statewide ranking that has dropped from 376 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2022-2023 to 409 out of 438 in 2024-2025, and a 0 out of 5 star rating.
Frontier School Of Excellence-M faces significant challenges, with academic performance well below state and Frontier Schools district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade math, only 14.9% of students were proficient or better, compared to 53.6% for the Frontier Schools district and 32.7% for the state of Missouri. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.6%, which likely contributes to the low academic achievement.
The school serves a high-need student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the small class sizes and high spending per student suggest a focus on providing a supportive learning environment, the data indicates that the school is struggling to effectively serve its students and improve their academic outcomes. Further analysis of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support services could provide insights into the factors contributing to the low performance and help identify areas for improvement.
