Summary:
The Mount Vernon Middle school is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Mt. Vernon R-V school district in Missouri. While the school has some strengths, such as a high proficiency rate in Algebra I, it faces challenges in terms of academic performance, student attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
Mount Vernon Middle's ranking and rating have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 184 out of 459 schools (3 stars) in 2021-2022 to 241 out of 459 schools (2 stars) in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of Algebra I. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
The school serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.65%). While the school district's spending per student is higher than the state average, it is unclear if this higher spending is translating into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Mount Vernon Middle School may need to address these challenges to improve the educational experience and outcomes for its students.
