Summary:
The Niangua R-V school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Niangua Elementary and Niangua High. Both schools have consistently underperformed compared to state averages, with low statewide rankings, poor test scores, and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Niangua Elementary has ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 2023-2024 ranking of 604 out of 906 schools and a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. Similarly, Niangua High has struggled, ranking 283 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating.
Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and relatively high spending per student. The district's chronic absenteeism rate is also a concern, at 18.0% for the 2023-2024 school year. To address these issues, the Niangua R-V school district will need to implement targeted interventions and support strategies to improve student outcomes and address the root causes of the district's academic struggles.
