Southwest R-V

The Southwest R-V school district in Missouri operates three schools: Southwest Elementary, Southwest High, and Southwest Middle. While the schools serve different grade levels, they share similar performance metrics, with all three ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state.

Academically, the schools struggle, with test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science generally below the state averages. Southwest Middle School stands out with particularly low proficiency rates, with only 12.3% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.11% at Southwest High to 64.27% at Southwest Elementary.

Despite the consistent performance across the district, there are some interesting findings. The student population at all three schools is predominantly white, ranging from 86.74% at Southwest Elementary to 87.02% at Southwest High. The district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes and addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population to drive meaningful improvements in the schools.
