Maysville R-I

The Maysville R-I school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Maysville Elementary and Maysville Junior-Senior High. Maysville Elementary has consistently ranked highly among Missouri elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its students have outperformed the state average in several key subject areas. In contrast, Maysville Junior-Senior High has a lower 2-star rating and its academic performance has been more mixed, with students performing below the state average in some subjects.

The student demographics at both schools are predominantly white, with Maysville Elementary having 94.98% white students and Maysville Junior-Senior High having 96.54% white students. This lack of diversity may have implications for the educational experiences and perspectives of the students. Additionally, Maysville Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.65%) compared to Maysville Junior-Senior High (38.46%), indicating that the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population.

Overall, the data suggests that Maysville R-I has a strong elementary school but room for improvement at the junior-senior high level. School leaders and policymakers should consider factors such as curriculum development, teacher training, and targeted interventions to address the relative underperformance of Maysville Junior-Senior High and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
