Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65668

Summary:

The 65668 zip code area is home to three schools - Hermitage Elementary, Hermitage High, and Hermitage Middle, all part of the Hermitage R-IV district. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with all three reporting a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate.

Among the standout schools, Hermitage Elementary ranks in the top 50% of Missouri elementary schools and boasts a 57.8% proficiency rate in 3rd-grade math, well above the state average. Hermitage High also shines, with a 100% graduation rate and strong performance in Algebra I. In contrast, Hermitage Middle struggles, particularly in math, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

Despite these variations in academic performance, all three schools face common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and limited resources, as evidenced by the differences in per-student spending. The district may benefit from exploring collaborative approaches to leverage the strengths of each school and address the needs of their high-poverty student population more effectively.
