The data indicates a systemic issue within the Purdy R-II school district, with both Purdy Elementary and Purdy High consistently performing below the state average on standardized tests. The district may need to explore targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community engagement initiatives to address the specific needs of their student population and improve academic outcomes.
