Scott County Central


Summary:

The Scott County Central school district in Missouri operates two schools - Scott County Central Elementary and Scott County Central High. Both schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings, indicating systemic issues within the district that need to be addressed.

The elementary and high school have alarmingly low proficiency rates on state assessments, with 3rd grade math proficiency at just 16.7% compared to the state average of 41.1%. Both schools also have 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri schools. This poor academic performance is coupled with extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting the district serves a population facing significant economic challenges.

Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, the lack of progress in improving student outcomes raises concerns about resource allocation and utilization within the district. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools is predominantly white, indicating a need to explore issues of equity and inclusion. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture for the Scott County Central school district, and district leaders must take decisive action to address the root causes of the underperformance across both the elementary and high school.
