Summary:
The Boonville R-I school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Hannah Cole Primary and David Barton Elementary), 1 middle school (Laura Speed Elliott Middle), and 1 high school (Boonville High). The district serves a predominantly white, high-poverty student population, with most schools having free/reduced lunch rates above 99%.
Boonville High stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 112 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023. However, the school has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking over the past 3 years. In contrast, David Barton Elementary and Laura Speed Elliott Middle consistently rank in the bottom third of their respective school types, with low proficiency rates on state assessments.
The high poverty levels and racial disparities across the Boonville R-I district suggest that the schools face significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for all students. Addressing these systemic issues and improving academic outcomes should be a top priority for the district.
