Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64739

Summary:

The 64739 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Sherwood Cass R-VIII school district. While the district maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate at the high school level, the overall academic performance across the schools tends to be below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

Sherwood Elementary School stands out with stronger 4th-grade English Language Arts performance, but struggles in 5th-grade Mathematics. Meanwhile, Sherwood High School is ranked 244 out of 378 Missouri high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and performs slightly below the state average on Algebra I and Biology I end-of-course exams. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools.

Addressing the underlying issues that have led to the declining SchoolDigger ratings for Sherwood Elementary and Sherwood Middle, as well as ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students, should be the focus for the Sherwood Cass R-VIII school district moving forward.
