Summary:
The Middle School is the sole middle school located within the Carrollton R-Vii school district in Missouri. While this school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, its overall academic performance has been consistently below the state average, particularly in mathematics and science.
The school's proficiency rates on state assessments (MAP tests) lag behind the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 5th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 21.8%, compared to the state average of 38.4%. Similarly, the school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate was 27.2%, while the state average was 35.7%. The school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with 8th-grade students outperforming the state average but 5th-grade and 6th-grade students falling behind.
Additionally, the school faces challenges related to student demographics and resource allocation. With a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.26%), the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance. The school's per-student spending of $10,018 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1 are also relevant data points that provide insight into the resources available to support student learning. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7% in the 2023-2024 school year is another area of concern that may contribute to the observed academic underperformance.
