Summary:
The city of Deepwater, Missouri is home to two schools: Lakeland Elementary and Lakeland High, both part of the Lakeland R-III school district. Based on the available data, these schools are performing below average compared to state-wide metrics, with low proficiency rates on standardized assessments and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Lakeland Elementary is ranked 730 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Lakeland High is ranked 342 out of 378 Missouri high schools and has a 0-star rating. Both schools have relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments, with Lakeland Elementary's math proficiency ranging from 11.2% to 30.1% and Lakeland High's math proficiency ranging from 15.7% to 26.8%. Additionally, both schools have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges in the Deepwater area.
Despite the relatively small student-teacher ratios at both schools, the data indicates that these resources are not translating into improved academic outcomes. The high chronic absenteeism rates of 22.4% at both Lakeland Elementary and Lakeland High are also a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Overall, the data paints a picture of two underperforming schools in the Deepwater area that are facing significant challenges related to student poverty, attendance, and academic achievement.
