Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64739

Summary:

The 64739 zip code area is home to three schools - Sherwood Elementary, Sherwood High, and Sherwood Middle - all part of the Sherwood Cass R-VIII district. While Sherwood High stands out with a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, the overall academic performance of the schools in this area is concerning, with most students performing below state and district averages, particularly in math.

Sherwood Elementary shows some bright spots, with stronger performance in 4th grade math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined significantly in recent years, dropping from 454 out of 908 schools in 2021-2022 to 654 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024, accompanied by a decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 1 star. All three schools also struggle with high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to their overall academic challenges.

Across the board, the schools in the 64739 zip code area perform below the district and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, suggesting that the Sherwood Cass R-VIII district as a whole may be facing systemic issues that need to be addressed. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these performance gaps could help identify opportunities for improvement and support for these schools and the broader community.
