Summary:
The Scott County R-IV school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Thomas W. Kelly High School maintains a relatively higher statewide ranking, the Scott County Elementary School and Scott County Middle School consistently underperform the state average in proficiency rates for standardized tests.
The schools in the Scott County R-IV district have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 92.46% to 96.24%. However, they face significant socioeconomic challenges, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 46.71% to 58.04%, indicating a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed across the district.
The spending per student varies across the schools, with the elementary school having the highest spending at $10,490 per student, compared to $9,350 per student at the high school. This suggests potential imbalances in resource allocation within the district, which could be addressed to better support the needs of all students and improve overall academic outcomes.
