Summary:
The city of Laquey, Missouri is home to three schools: Laquey R-V High, Laquey R-V Elementary, and Missouri Digital Academy. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and are part of the Laquey R-V school district.
Among the three schools, Laquey R-V Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics. For example, 50% of 3rd graders at Laquey R-V Elementary were proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, compared to the Laquey R-V district average of 40% and the Missouri state average of 41.1%. In contrast, Missouri Digital Academy, an alternative virtual school, has a more diverse student population but lower test scores overall, which is common for alternative schools serving at-risk students.
Despite the district's overall low rankings, with Laquey R-V High ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri high schools and Laquey R-V Elementary ranking in the bottom 30% of Missouri elementary schools, the data reveals that the schools in Laquey face significant challenges, including high poverty rates, with all three schools having over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges and improving the overall performance of the district will be crucial for the success of Laquey's students.
