Summary:
The Hamilton R-II school district in Missouri has a single middle school, Hamilton Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 149 students. While the school district spends above the state average per student, Hamilton Middle's academic performance on state assessments is consistently below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
Hamilton Middle has a predominantly white student population, with 89.93% of students identifying as white, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 49.66%. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1, suggest that the district is allocating resources to support student learning. However, the academic performance of the school does not appear to be commensurate with the resources invested, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the district's instructional strategies and support for students.
Overall, the analysis of the data for Hamilton Middle School highlights the need for the school and Hamilton R-II district to closely examine their academic performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement targeted strategies to support student learning and achievement, particularly for the school's predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student population.
