While the schools in the 64120 zip code area generally perform below the state averages in both mathematics and English Language Arts, they serve a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.87% at Frontier School Of Innovation to 77.34% at Frontier Stem High School. This suggests the schools face additional challenges in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may require targeted interventions and resources to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
