Middle Schools in Dunklin R-V

The Dunklin R-V school district in Missouri has only one middle school, Senn-Thomas Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school does not stand out as a top performer in the state, it provides a valuable snapshot of the educational landscape within the Dunklin R-V district.

Senn-Thomas Middle School has an enrollment of 362 students, with a predominantly White student population (88.12%). The school's academic performance is mixed, with mathematics proficiency rates below the state average, but English Language Arts proficiency rates slightly above the state average in some grades. One standout metric is the school's exceptional Algebra I proficiency rate of 86.4%, significantly higher than the district (42.5%) and state (41.5%) averages. However, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 34.7% is slightly below the state average of 37.8%.

Senn-Thomas Middle School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has seen its statewide ranking improve from 280th out of 454 Missouri middle schools in 2020-2021 to 228th out of 459 in 2022-2023. With nearly half of the students (47.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school and district may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning and implement appropriate support strategies. The school's lack of racial diversity, with a predominantly White student population, may also be an area for the district to address.
