Summary:
The Hermann Middle School is the sole middle school located in the Gasconade County R-I school district in Missouri. Serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 293 students, Hermann Middle has seen a concerning trend of declining performance, dropping from 119th out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2021-2022 to 279th in 2023-2024.
Academically, Hermann Middle has mixed results, performing above the state average in 4th grade math and 8th grade science, but significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts across all grades. The school also faces challenges with over 50% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. However, the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, could be a potential strength in addressing these issues.
Overall, while Hermann Middle has some areas of strength, it faces significant challenges in terms of declining performance, academic achievement, and serving a high-poverty student population. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve its outcomes and better serve the needs of its students and community.
