Summary:
The city of Stoutland, Missouri is home to two public schools: Stoutland Elementary and Stoutland High, both part of the Stoutland R-II school district. The data reveals that these schools are underperforming compared to state averages across a range of academic and demographic metrics.
Neither Stoutland Elementary nor Stoutland High stand out as high-performing schools. Both are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state, with consistently low 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly below state averages, ranging from just 9.7% to 28.7% at the elementary level and 11.2% to 20.9% at the high school level.
Concerning trends extend beyond academics, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 17% at both schools and graduation and dropout rates at Stoutland High that are slightly worse than state averages. Demographic and socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest the schools serve a population facing significant economic challenges that may contribute to their academic struggles. While the schools have higher-than-average spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratios, these resources have not translated into improved outcomes, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and support.
