Summary:
The East Carter County R-II school district in Missouri consists of three schools: East Carter County R-II Elementary, East Carter County R-II High, and East Carter County R-II Middle. The district as a whole is ranked 35th out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The standout school in the district appears to be the East Carter County R-II Elementary, which is ranked 70th out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and has a 5-star rating. The elementary school consistently performs well on state assessments, with 3rd-5th grade students scoring significantly above the state average in both math and English language arts. In contrast, the East Carter County R-II High School appears to be the weakest performer in the district, with lower rankings and test scores compared to the elementary and middle schools.
While the district has relatively low student-teacher ratios and spends between $10,972 and $12,452 per student, it faces some challenges, including high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility across all three schools and relatively high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these equity and attendance concerns could help the district build on the strengths of its elementary school and improve outcomes at the secondary level.
