Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65679

Summary:

The 65679 zip code area is home to two small schools - Kirbyville Middle School and Kirbyville Elementary School, both part of the Kirbyville R-VI district. While the schools face some challenges, they also demonstrate notable strengths, particularly in math proficiency.

Kirbyville Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 215th out of 451 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 to 351st out of 459 in 2022-2023. However, its current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests it is performing around the state average. One area of strength is the school's math proficiency rates, which exceed the state averages across multiple grade levels, with 7th graders achieving 78.9% proficiency compared to the state average of 43.2%.

Both Kirbyville Middle and Kirbyville Elementary have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 10.5%, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the schools serve communities with high free/reduced lunch rates, over 50%, suggesting the need for additional resources and support. Despite these challenges, the schools maintain small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 8.2 and 9.5, respectively, which could be an advantage in providing personalized attention to students.
