Summary:
The Union R-Xi school district in Missouri consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. While the district as a whole performs well, with a ranking of 80 out of 376 districts in the state, there are some notable differences in the performance and characteristics of the individual schools.
Beaufort Elementary stands out as the school with the highest percentage of white students (96.48%) and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (33.14%). Academically, Beaufort Elementary students outperform the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade math. In contrast, Prairie Dell Elementary has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.9) among the elementary schools, but its test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools.
The district's middle school, Union Middle, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, from 128 out of 459 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 178 out of 454 in 2020-2021. This could be an area of concern for the district to investigate further. Overall, the Union R-Xi school district appears to be a relatively strong performing district, with some variations in the performance and characteristics of individual schools that could inform decision-making and resource allocation to support continued improvement across the district.
