Best Public Schools in Edina, MO

Summary:

The city of Edina, Missouri is home to two schools: Knox County Elementary and Knox County High. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population and are part of the Knox County R-I school district, which is ranked 236 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, both Knox County Elementary and Knox County High perform below the state average on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests in mathematics and English language arts. For example, in 3rd grade mathematics, Knox County Elementary scored 20% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 41.1%. Similarly, in 6th grade mathematics, Knox County High scored 26.1% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.7%. This underperformance on standardized tests suggests that the schools may need to focus on improving academic outcomes and providing more support for student learning.

Another area of concern is the high poverty rates at both schools, with over 57% of students at Knox County Elementary and 61% at Knox County High eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This indicates that the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, which could have implications for the resources and support available to students and their families. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student populations, with very low representation of racial and ethnic groups other than white, may impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students.
