Summary:

The 64772 zip code is home to a single high school, Nevada High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 189th out of 378 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024 to 248th out of 367 in 2024-2025, it maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nevada High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on the MAP/End of Course exams generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Biology I. However, the school's strongest performance is in English II, where the proficiency rate is close to the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 85.7%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 2.2%, which is relatively low.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as it has a relatively high percentage of students (45.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $10,277, in line with the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.8, slightly higher than the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate for 2023-2024 was 15.6%, which is higher than the state average and may be an area of concern for the school and district to address.
