Best Public Schools in Patton, MO

Summary:

The city of Patton, Missouri is home to three schools - Meadow Heights Elementary, Meadow Heights High, and Meadow Heights Middle School - all part of the Meadow Heights R-II school district. While the schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, the data suggests they are collectively underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings.

None of the three Patton schools stand out as clear academic leaders, with all three receiving below-average ratings from SchoolDigger. Meadow Heights Elementary is ranked 425 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools, while Meadow Heights High and Meadow Heights Middle School rank 250 out of 352 and 364 out of 459 in their respective categories. Proficiency rates in core subjects like math and English language arts lag behind state benchmarks, particularly at the middle school level. Additionally, the schools serve high proportions of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 48.59% to 59.07%.

Funding disparities may also be a concern, as per-student spending varies from $8,041 at Meadow Heights Middle School to $9,572 at Meadow Heights Elementary. The student-teacher ratios, while relatively low, do not appear to be translating into stronger academic performance. Overall, the data paints a picture of a school district in Patton that is facing significant challenges in terms of student achievement, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the community.
