Summary:
The city of Iberia, Missouri is home to two schools - Iberia Elementary and Iberia High, both part of the Iberia R-V school district. While the schools have shown some areas of strength, they also face challenges in academic performance and attendance that the district will need to address.
Iberia High School has seen notable improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings from 242nd out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 142nd out of 378 in 2023-2024, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Iberia Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating despite fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from 373rd in 2022-2023 to 532nd in 2023-2024 out of around 900 Missouri elementary schools.
Both schools face challenges, with test scores generally below state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 11.4%, exceeding the state average. The schools also serve a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 40% at both schools, suggesting socioeconomic factors may be impacting academic performance. The Iberia R-V school district will need to address these areas of concern to improve educational outcomes for all students in the community.
