Summary:

The 65770 zip code area has only one elementary school, Walnut Grove Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 142 students. Walnut Grove Elementary is part of the Walnut Grove R-V school district, which is ranked 288 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Walnut Grove Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 627 out of 1,045 Missouri elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 655 out of 906 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is below the state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.4% for the 2023-2024 school year.

With nearly half of the student population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Walnut Grove Elementary serves a community with high levels of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $10,047, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted strategies to support its students and address the declining performance and academic underperformance observed in the data.
