Summary:
The Laclede County R-I school district in Missouri operates two schools: Ezard Elementary and Conway High Schools. While the district as a whole is performing around the state average, there are some concerning trends at the individual school level.
Ezard Elementary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 182nd out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 449th out of 898 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be facing challenges that are impacting its performance. In contrast, Conway High Schools has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, but it is still ranked higher than Ezard Elementary.
Both Ezard Elementary and Conway High Schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the district. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios for both schools are relatively low, suggesting the district is investing in smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning. However, the declining statewide rankings for both schools suggest the district may need to examine its curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
