Summary:
The Marais Des Cygnes Valley region has only one middle school, Marais Des Cygnes Valley Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 38 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, its academic performance is mixed compared to the state averages, with some bright spots in 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency but significant lags in other subject areas, particularly 8th grade Mathematics and overall Science proficiency.
Marais Des Cygnes Valley Middle School serves a high-poverty student population, with 68.42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge, the district is investing heavily in the school, with spending of $16,293 per student, significantly higher than the state average. However, the small size of the school, with just 38 students, may impact the breadth of educational opportunities and resources available to the students.
Overall, Marais Des Cygnes Valley Middle School faces a mix of challenges, including declining statewide rankings, academic performance that lags the state in many areas, and a high-poverty student population. The district's significant investment in the school suggests a commitment to improving outcomes, but more work may be needed to ensure the school is competitive within the state and providing a high-quality education to its students.
