Summary:
The city of Licking, Missouri, is home to two public schools: Licking High (grades 7-12) and Licking Elementary (grades PK-6), both part of the Licking R-VIII school district. While the schools do not stand out as exceptional performers, the data provides valuable insights into the educational landscape of Licking.
Both Licking High and Licking Elementary have predominantly white student populations, with Licking Elementary being even more homogeneous at 99.52% white. This lack of diversity may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Academically, the schools consistently perform below the state average on standardized tests, indicating potential areas for improvement. Additionally, both schools have extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting significant economic challenges within the Licking community that may impact educational outcomes.
Despite the challenges, the schools in Licking have maintained relatively consistent rankings and ratings over the years, indicating a lack of significant improvement or decline in their performance. While there are no clear standout schools, the data provides valuable insights that could inform efforts to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for students in the Licking community.
