Best Public Schools in Strafford, MO

Summary:

The city of Strafford, Missouri is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Strafford Elementary, Strafford Middle, and Strafford High. These schools are part of the Strafford R-VI school district.

Among the three schools, Strafford Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Missouri middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's impressive test scores, with 50% or more of students proficient or better in Math, Science, and English Language Arts, are particularly noteworthy, especially in Algebra I where 93% of students scored proficient or better. In contrast, Strafford Elementary School performs well above the state average in 4th-grade English Language Arts but struggles in some other areas, such as 3rd-grade English Language Arts and 5th-grade Math.

While the Strafford schools have some areas of strength, they also face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these district-wide issues could help the Strafford schools improve their overall educational outcomes and better serve the local community.
