Gallatin R-V

The Gallatin R-V school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the district's schools have seen a concerning decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, Covel D. Searcy Elementary maintains a 3-star rating and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3. In contrast, Gallatin Middle School and Gallatin High School have experienced fluctuations in their rankings, with mixed academic performance across grade levels.

Across the district, test scores in math and English Language Arts tend to be below the state averages, with some exceptions. Covel D. Searcy Elementary has seen a decline in math proficiency rates, while Gallatin Middle School and Gallatin High School have particularly low proficiency rates in math. The district also has a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.15% at Gallatin High to 44.04% at Covel D. Searcy Elementary, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may indicate a need to re-evaluate the district's resource allocation to ensure equitable distribution and support for all students. Addressing the declining performance, equity concerns, and resource allocation challenges will be crucial for the Gallatin R-V school district to provide a high-quality education for all its students.
