Top rankedWildwood Elementary506^th of 900 Missouri elementary schools

Summary:

The 64862 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Wildwood Elementary, which serves students in the Sarcoxie R-II school district. While Wildwood Elementary's performance has fluctuated in recent years, the school's academic achievement is mixed compared to state averages, with strengths in some subject areas and grade levels, but also areas that could benefit from improvement efforts.

Wildwood Elementary's statewide ranking has ranged from 288 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 506 out of 900 in 2024-2025, indicating inconsistent performance. The school's standardized test scores are also variable, with above-average performance in 5th grade Science and English Language Arts in grades 4-5, but below-state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math for grades 3-5. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7% in 2023-2024 is a metric to monitor.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in Wildwood Elementary's performance, as the school serves a relatively high percentage of students (53.04% in 2023-2024) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1 in 2023-2024 is favorable. Overall, Wildwood Elementary appears to have both strengths and areas for improvement, and the school's performance, demographics, and resource allocation should be closely monitored to identify opportunities for enhancing the educational experience and outcomes for its students.
