Summary:
The 64504 zip code area in Missouri is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Hyde Elementary standing out as a relative bright spot, while other schools like Benton High and Hosea Elementary struggle academically.
Hyde Elementary has relatively strong academic performance, with 54% of 4th graders proficient or better in math, compared to 42.3% for the St. Joseph district and 43.8% statewide. In contrast, the other schools in the data set had mixed or below-average results on state assessments. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue across all schools, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, well above state averages.
The data suggests the schools in the 64504 zip code area serve predominantly low-income populations, with high rates of free/reduced lunch students. This likely contributes to the academic challenges seen in the test score data. Addressing attendance barriers and targeting interventions to support the most disadvantaged students could be important focus areas for these schools as they work to improve student outcomes.
