Cabool Middle

Summary:

Cabool Middle is a public middle school located in Cabool, Missouri, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 222 students. The school is part of the Cabool R-IV school district, which is ranked 150 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cabool Middle faces significant challenges, particularly with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 13.9% to 20.2% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools of Houston Middle (16.0%) and Willow Springs Middle (17.1%). Additionally, the school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally below the state averages and the nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, Cabool Middle's 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 41.7%, compared to the state average of 30.6% and Willow Springs Middle's 48.7%. Cabool Middle also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Willow Springs Middle (66.4%) and Mountain Grove Middle (59.45%).

However, Cabool Middle has shown some signs of improvement in recent years. The school's ranking has moved up from 442 out of 587 Missouri middle schools in 2018-2019 to 291 out of 451 in 2023-2024, and its star rating has increased from 1 to 2 stars. Additionally, Cabool Middle's low-socioeconomic status students have performed relatively well, ranking 117 out of 378 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 5-star rating in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be effectively supporting its most disadvantaged students. By learning from the practices of nearby higher-performing schools and continuing to focus on addressing the needs of its student population, Cabool Middle has the potential to make further progress in the coming years.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
