Summary:
The New Bloomfield R-III school district in Missouri operates two schools: New Bloomfield Elementary and New Bloomfield High. While the elementary school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, both schools face challenges in test scores and resource allocation.
New Bloomfield Elementary has made progress, moving from 674th out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 420th out of 898 in 2022-2023. However, its proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts remain below state averages. In contrast, New Bloomfield High has performed well, ranking in the top half of Missouri high schools, but its 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate is significantly lower than the state average.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with high free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting economic challenges. The stark difference in student-teacher ratios between the elementary and high school (76.1 vs. 11.8) may indicate a need for more equitable resource allocation across the district. Overall, the New Bloomfield R-III district faces opportunities to improve test scores, address resource disparities, and foster a more diverse and inclusive learning environment for its students.
