Warsaw R-Ix

The Warsaw R-Ix school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (North Elementary and South Elementary), 1 middle school (John Boise Middle School), and 1 high school (Warsaw High School). Overall, the schools in this district are performing significantly below the state average on academic measures, with low proficiency rates on state assessments and low rankings compared to other schools in Missouri.

The data reveals that all of the schools in the Warsaw R-Ix district have consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments (MAP tests) well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the proficiency rate in Math for 4th grade at North Elementary was 26.7% compared to the state average of 44.4%. Similarly, Warsaw High School had a proficiency rate of only 32.3% in Algebra I and 18.3% in Biology I, well below the state averages.

Additionally, the schools in the district face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.94% to 99.26%. This suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be contributing to the overall academic struggles. The district also faces issues with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 18.1% to 18.1% across the schools. These factors, combined with the variation in per-student spending across the schools, indicate that the Warsaw R-Ix district requires a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the systemic challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.
