Best Public Schools in Ellsinore, MO

Summary:

The city of Ellsinore, Missouri is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: East Carter County R-II Elementary, East Carter County R-II High, and East Carter County R-II Middle. These schools are part of the East Carter County R-II school district.

Among the three schools, East Carter County R-II Elementary stands out as the academic standout, consistently ranking among the top 70-340 elementary schools in Missouri and earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with 77.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, 80.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in science, and 66.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in English language arts. In contrast, East Carter County R-II High School and East Carter County R-II Middle School have not performed as strongly, with their statewide rankings and test scores lagging behind the state averages.

The data also reveals that all three schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.3 to 12.7 students per teacher, and high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, with 65.75% of elementary students, 61.41% of high school students, and 60.28% of middle school students qualifying. This suggests the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which is an important context to consider when interpreting the academic performance data.
