Summary:
The Desoto 73 school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The standout performer in the district is Desoto Senior High, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state and outperforms the district and state averages on several key assessments. The elementary schools, particularly Vineland Elementary, also demonstrate strong performance in mathematics.
While the district overall appears to be performing well, with relatively low student-teacher ratios and spending per student in line with the state average, the data suggests an area for potential improvement at the middle school level. Desoto Junior High lags behind the district and state averages in mathematics and English language arts, indicating a need for further investigation and targeted interventions.
The free and reduced lunch rates vary significantly across the schools, with the elementary and middle/high schools having higher rates than Desoto Senior High. This may indicate differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations, but it is important to avoid making any implications about the relationship between school performance and racial makeup.
