Summary:
The 63089 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Coleman Elementary, which serves grades K-4 and is part of the Meramec Valley R-III school district. While the district is ranked 107 out of 386 in Missouri and has a 4-star rating, Coleman Elementary faces some challenges, particularly in terms of student academic performance and socioeconomic factors.
Coleman Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade math and ELA declining by over 10 percentage points from the previous year. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, over 50% of Coleman Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school likely faces challenges related to poverty and its impact on student learning.
Despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Coleman Elementary, these resources do not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The school's performance suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and that targeted interventions and a focus on areas like attendance and early-grade interventions could be beneficial.
