Best Public Schools in Stover, MO

Summary:

The city of Stover, Missouri is home to two schools, Morgan County R-I High and Morgan County R-I Elementary, both serving students in the Morgan County R-I school district. These schools face significant challenges, including high poverty rates, lack of diversity, and underperforming test scores.

Both Morgan County R-I High and Morgan County R-I Elementary have extremely high free and reduced lunch rates, over 99%, indicating that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population. Additionally, the student bodies at these schools are racially homogeneous, with over 94% of students being white, suggesting a lack of diversity in the Stover school system. Academically, the test scores for both schools lag behind the state averages in mathematics and English language arts across multiple grade levels, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

While Morgan County R-I High has a higher School Digger ranking and rating compared to the elementary school, the high school's performance has been declining, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 and a 2-star rating in 2020-2021. This suggests that the high school may be facing challenges in maintaining academic excellence. Overall, the Stover school district appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality, equitable education for its students, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the community.
