Summary:
The 64874 zip code area is home to two schools - Wheaton Elementary and Wheaton High, both part of the Wheaton R-III school district. Based on the available data, these schools are performing below average compared to state-wide metrics, with both ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Missouri.
Wheaton Elementary and Wheaton High struggle with low academic proficiency rates, with both schools significantly underperforming the state averages in Math and English Language Arts. Wheaton Elementary's proficiency rates range from 12.3% to 38%, while Wheaton High's proficiency rates range from 13% to 27.4% in Math, and 18.6% to 24.3% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 30.6% to 45.4% and 42.1% to 42.2%, respectively. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 16.7%, which may be contributing to their low performance.
Despite the schools' financial resources, with per-student spending slightly above the state average and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the data shows little to no improvement in academic performance over the past few years. This suggests that addressing the underlying issues, such as chronic absenteeism and equity concerns, may be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this area.
