Summary:
The Platte County R-III school district in Missouri serves students from elementary through high school, with 5 schools including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district has a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 20% to 32% across the schools.
Several schools in the district stand out for their strong academic performance. Platte City Middle School has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Missouri, with high test scores, particularly in math. Compass Elementary also performs very well, with test scores notably higher than the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Platte County High School has a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%.
However, not all schools in the district are performing at the same level. While Donald D. Siegrist Elementary and Compass Elementary excel, Pathfinder Elementary lags behind in test scores, particularly in math. Additionally, the district as a whole faces the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of focus for improvement.
