Summary:
The city of Stockton, Missouri is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Stockton Elementary, Stockton High, and Stockton Middle. These schools, which are part of the Stockton R-I district, have shown a mix of strong performance and areas for improvement.
Stockton Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools and consistently outperforming the state average in mathematics and English language arts proficiency. In contrast, Stockton High has shown improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school also outperformed the state average in several key end-of-course exams.
While the schools have their strengths, there are also areas that may require attention. All three Stockton schools had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which could impact student learning. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Stockton Elementary, suggest that the district may need to consider additional support and resources for students from lower-income families. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools also indicate variations in resource allocation that the district may want to examine.
