Best Public Schools in Tarkio, MO

Summary:

The city of Tarkio, Missouri is home to two schools: Tarkio Jh And High School and Tarkio Elementary. Both schools are part of the Tarkio R-I school district, which is ranked 246th out of 386 districts in Missouri and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Tarkio Jh And High School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 327th out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 215th out of 361 in 2021-2022, it is still rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. In contrast, Tarkio Elementary had a higher 4-star rating in 2018-2019 but has since declined to a 2-star rating in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, suggesting the elementary school may be facing some challenges.

Both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7%, which is higher than the state average and can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, Tarkio schools generally perform below the state average in MAP/Mathematics and MAP/English Language Arts assessments across various grade levels. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools, 8.7 at the high school and 7.8 at the elementary, could be a positive factor, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
