Dexter R-Xi

Summary:

The Dexter R-Xi school district in Missouri consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district's schools display a mix of strong and average academic performance, with Central Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.

Central Elementary is ranked 291 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools, the highest ranking among the district's elementary schools. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.4) and outperforms the district and state averages in several key MAP test scores, including Mathematics and English Language Arts. In contrast, Southwest Elementary has the highest student-teacher ratio (13.2) and the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (55.18%) among the schools, which may indicate challenges in providing resources and support to its student population.

Overall, the Dexter R-Xi district performs relatively well, with most schools ranking in the top half of their respective state-wide rankings. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Science proficiency. The district's consistent per-student spending suggests a fair distribution of resources, but the differences in student-teacher ratios and academic performance suggest that factors beyond just funding may be at play.
