Summary:
The city of Lockwood, Missouri is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mixed picture of academic performance and resource allocation across the Lockwood R-I school district.
Lockwood High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.3% and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2%. In contrast, Lockwood Elementary and Lockwood Middle School have lower proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and science, compared to the Missouri state average. The Lockwood Specl. Educ. Coop. appears to be a specialized education facility with a small student-teacher ratio and a relatively lower free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting a focus on personalized learning and support.
The data also reveals significant variations in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may indicate challenges in equitable resource allocation within the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the district are concerning and may require further investigation and intervention. Overall, the Lockwood school district faces the need to address academic underperformance and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
