Summary:
The Halfway R-III school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Halfway Elementary and Halfway Secondary. The data suggests a mixed picture, with the elementary school facing more significant academic challenges compared to the high school.
Halfway Elementary has seen fluctuating state-wide rankings, indicating some progress in recent years, but its 3rd grade math and ELA proficiency rates are well below state averages. However, the school's 4th grade math proficiency is significantly higher than the state average. In contrast, Halfway Secondary has maintained a consistent state-wide ranking and excels in Algebra I, with an 80% proficiency rate that is nearly double the state average.
The data also reveals a significant disparity in free and reduced lunch rates between the two schools, with Halfway Elementary serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may contribute to the lower test scores observed at the elementary level. Overall, the Halfway R-III school district presents a mixed picture, with the high school performing relatively well, while the elementary school faces more significant challenges in improving student outcomes.
