Summary:
The Sikeston R-6 school district in Missouri serves students from 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of standout performers and areas for improvement across the district.
Lee Hunter Elementary stands out as the top-performing elementary school, with students outperforming district and state averages on state assessments in both math and English language arts. In contrast, Sikeston Junior High School shines with exceptional Algebra I proficiency rates, significantly higher than the district and state. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools reporting very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.87% to 99.7%, and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.8% to 20.8%.
While Sikeston Senior High School boasts a strong 95.7% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.6% dropout rate, the data also reveals significant disparities in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the district. Addressing these resource allocation and equity issues, along with the high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism concerns, could be key focus areas for the Sikeston R-6 district to enhance educational experiences and outcomes for all students.
