Summary:
The Fordland R-III school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Fordland Elementary, Fordland High, and Fordland Middle. The district is ranked 184 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Fordland High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 174 out of 378 Missouri high schools and achieving a high 4-year graduation rate of 95.2%. The school also outperformed the state and district averages in the percentage of students proficient or better in MAP/English I for End of Course. In contrast, Fordland Elementary excelled in Mathematics, outperforming the state and district averages in MAP tests for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.
The district's performance is mixed, with some schools and grade levels outperforming the state and district averages, while others underperform. The chronic absenteeism rate of 13.2% across all three schools is an area of concern, and the significant variation in test scores suggests the need for targeted interventions. Additionally, the disparity in spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the schools warrant further investigation to understand their impact on student outcomes.
