Summary:
The 65710 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Marion C. Early Elementary, which serves students from the Marion C. Early R-V school district. While the school has experienced a decline in its performance ranking over the past few years, it continues to provide education to the local community.
Marion C. Early Elementary has seen its ranking drop from 405 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 639 out of 900 in the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency rates, particularly in math and English language arts, lag behind the state averages, with only 31.3% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 41.4%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 44.44% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.4%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $10,063 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 for the 2023-2024 school year suggest that the school is allocating resources to support its students. However, the data indicates that the school and district may need to implement strategies to address the performance gaps and improve student outcomes in the long run.
