Summary:
The city of Lockwood, Missouri is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 alternative school. While the schools share some common characteristics, such as a predominantly white student population, they also exhibit notable differences in their performance, demographics, and resource allocation.
Lockwood Elementary stands out with its low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which may provide more individualized attention for students. However, the school's test scores are below the state average, with only 29.7% of 5th graders proficient in math and 37% proficient in English Language Arts. In contrast, Lockwood High has a slightly more diverse student population, with 95.88% white students, 1.03% Asian, and 3.09% two or more races, but its test scores are also below the state average, with only 26.3% of students proficient in Algebra I and 22.3% proficient in Biology I.
The Lockwood Specl. Educ. Coop., an alternative school, stands out with its 100% white student population and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.3. Additionally, it has a very low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (12%), significantly lower than the other schools in the Lockwood R-I district. This disparity in funding and resources across the schools in the district may be an area of concern that warrants further investigation.
