Summary:
The Bowling Green R-I school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district overall has average to below-average performance, Frankford Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science.
Despite having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Frankford Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, reaching as high as 84th out of 901 schools in 2020-2021. In contrast, the other schools in the district, including Bowling Green Elementary, Bowling Green High, and Bowling Green Middle, have average to below-average proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts compared to the state.
The district's student population is predominantly white, with relatively low representation from minority groups. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across the district, particularly at the elementary schools, suggests potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. The district should consider strategies to address these equity concerns and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
