Best Public Schools in Steelville, MO

Summary:

The city of Steelville, Missouri is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Steelville Elementary, Steelville High, and Steelville Middle. These schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance that lags behind state averages, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.

Steelville Elementary stands out as the lowest-performing school, with proficiency rates well below state averages in both math and English language arts, and a statewide ranking in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools. Steelville High performs better, with a statewide ranking in the middle third of Missouri high schools, but still has a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Steelville Middle also performs better than the elementary school, but still has relatively low proficiency rates, particularly in math, and the highest percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch among the three schools.

The data suggests that the Steelville R-III school district faces significant challenges in addressing the academic and socioeconomic needs of its student population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to ensure that all students in Steelville have access to high-quality educational opportunities and the support they need to succeed.
