Macks Creek R-V

The Macks Creek R-V school district in Missouri operates two schools: Macks Creek Elementary and Macks Creek High. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the community.

Academically, the data shows that both Macks Creek Elementary and Macks Creek High are performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. For example, in 3rd grade mathematics, Macks Creek Elementary scored 22.7% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 41.1%. Similarly, in 8th grade science, Macks Creek High scored 15.4% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.8%. This underperformance is concerning and may suggest a need for the district to evaluate its educational practices and support systems to improve student outcomes.

Despite the higher spending per student at Macks Creek High compared to Macks Creek Elementary, the data does not indicate any clear standout schools in the district. Both schools appear to be facing significant challenges, with high poverty levels and low academic achievement. The district may benefit from a comprehensive review of its resource allocation and a focus on addressing the unique needs of its student population to ensure that all learners have the support they need to succeed.
