Summary:
There is one middle school located in the Scott County R-IV school district in Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 206 students. Scott County Middle has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels over the past two school years, ranking 339 out of 451 Missouri middle schools and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 6.5% of 8th grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 30.6%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 19.6% in the 2023-2024 school year. Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges, as 52.43% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's per-student spending is below the state average.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, the consistently low academic performance and other challenges suggest that the Scott County R-IV district and Scott County Middle may need to address factors such as resource allocation, teacher support, and targeted interventions for struggling students in order to improve the quality of education provided to their students.
