Best Public Schools in Salisbury, MO

Summary:

The city of Salisbury, Missouri is home to two schools, Salisbury High School and Salisbury Elementary School, both part of the Salisbury R-IV school district. While Salisbury Elementary demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics, Salisbury High School stands out as the district's top performer, with a remarkable improvement in its statewide ranking from 338th out of 468 in 2017-2018 to 23rd out of 352 in 2022-2023.

Salisbury High School has seen a significant boost in its academic performance, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's proficiency rates in MAP/Mathematics for grades 7 and 8 are below the state average, its 8th-grade proficiency in MAP/Science exceeds the state average. In contrast, Salisbury Elementary School demonstrates stronger academic performance, with proficiency rates in MAP/Mathematics for grades 3-5 all above the state average.

Both schools have a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, suggesting a significant investment in education. However, the student populations at both schools are predominantly white, with relatively low percentages of other racial groups, which may indicate a need to explore ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the school system.
