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. While the schools share some similarities, they have also seen diverging trends in their performance and rankings over the past few years.
Maysville Elementary has experienced a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 224th out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 486th out of 906 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be trending downward compared to its peers. In contrast, Maysville Junior-Senior High has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, despite also seeing a decline in its statewide ranking from 132nd out of 468 Missouri high schools in 2017-2018 to 251st out of 358 in 2020-2021.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of over 16% and generally underperforming on state assessments compared to Missouri averages. However, the schools also have some strengths, including similar spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios. With a focus on addressing the factors contributing to the declining performance and high absenteeism, the schools in Maysville may have opportunities to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
