Summary:

The 65769 zip code has only one elementary school, Verona Elementary, which serves students in the Verona R-Vii school district. Verona Elementary has struggled with its academic performance, ranking 663 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance has been inconsistent, fluctuating between a 2-star and 1-star rating in recent years. Only 12.5% of 3rd graders at Verona Elementary were proficient or better in Math in 2024-2025, significantly lower than the state average of 41.4%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1 and spends $11,613 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to Verona Elementary's struggles and identify strategies to improve the school's performance and support student success.
