Summary:
The Knob Noster R-VIII school district in Missouri is home to a single middle school, Knob Noster Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 377 students.
While Knob Noster Middle was previously a strong performer, ranking 60th out of 454 middle schools in Missouri in the 2020-2021 school year, its ranking has since dropped to 184th out of 459 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, though it still maintains a 3-star rating. The school's student body is predominantly White (78.25%), and its test scores are mixed, with 8th graders outperforming the state average in math and science, but 6th and 7th graders lagging behind in math and English Language Arts. Despite these challenges, the school benefits from above-average spending per student ($10,721) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1.
Overall, Knob Noster Middle appears to be a school with both strengths and areas for improvement. While its declining state ranking is concerning, the school's access to resources and strong performance in certain grade levels suggest potential for growth and improvement with the right strategies and interventions.
