Summary:
The 64138 zip code area in Missouri is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Raytown C-2 and Hickman Mills C-1. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, a few standout institutions demonstrate the potential for academic excellence in the area.
South Middle in the Raytown C-2 district stands out as the highest-ranked middle school in the data set, ranking 394 out of 438 Missouri middle schools in 2024-2025. The school also achieved an impressive 92.8% proficiency rate in Algebra I, significantly outperforming the district (17.2%) and state (45.4%) averages. In contrast, Dobbs Elementary in the Hickman Mills C-1 district excelled in both Mathematics (33.5%) and English Language Arts (43%) proficiency for 5th-grade students, outpacing the district and state averages.
The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the schools, with some institutions struggling to meet state standards while others, like South Middle and Dobbs Elementary, demonstrate the potential for success. These disparities may be linked to socioeconomic factors, as the majority of the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the data set suggest a need to address attendance issues, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
