Summary:
The Westran Middle school is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Westran R-I school district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 134 students, the school's performance is evaluated based on various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism rates, free and reduced lunch rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios.
While Westran Middle has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average math proficiency rates in 7th and 8th grades, it also struggles in other areas, such as lower-than-average English Language Arts proficiency rates in 6th and 7th grades. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is a concern and may be impacting overall academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 59.7% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the relatively high spending per student ($13,550) and low student-teacher ratio (9.5), the academic performance data suggests that these investments may not be fully translating into improved outcomes. The school's strengths in math proficiency and Algebra I, coupled with its challenges in English Language Arts and chronic absenteeism, indicate that targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation may be needed to address these issues and improve the overall academic performance of Westran Middle.
