Summary:
The city of Maysville, Missouri is home to two schools: Maysville Elementary and Maysville Junior-Senior High, both part of the Maysville R-I school district. Maysville Elementary consistently ranks among the top-performing elementary schools in Missouri, while Maysville Junior-Senior High has seen a decline in its state ranking in recent years.
Maysville Elementary stands out as the stronger of the two schools, with higher test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Maysville Junior-Senior High. The elementary school has maintained a strong performance, ranking 135th out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 and 224th out of 908 in 2021-2022 according to the SchoolDigger rankings. In contrast, Maysville Junior-Senior High has dropped from 132nd out of 468 Missouri high schools in 2017-2018 to 251st out of 358 in 2020-2021, indicating a concerning decline in its performance.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with Maysville Elementary at 94.98% and Maysville Junior-Senior High at 96.54%. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to address, as diversity in schools can provide valuable learning experiences for students. Additionally, the difference in free and reduced-price lunch rates between the two schools suggests that Maysville Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and resource allocation.
