Middle School

Summary:

Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Carrollton, MO, with a total enrollment of 270 students. The school is part of the Carrollton R-Vii school district, which is ranked 168 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Middle School's performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in mathematics ranged from 21.8% (5th grade) to 34.2% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 38.4% (5th grade) to 44.4% (6th grade). The school's performance in science is more mixed, with 5th-grade students performing on par with the state average, but 8th-grade students lagging behind. Additionally, the school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is also below the state averages for these subgroups.

Middle School has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.6% to 16.7% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. While the school's per-student spending has increased from $8,930 in 2018-2019 to $10,018 in 2021-2022, indicating a focus on resource allocation, the school's academic performance, as measured by its statewide ranking, has declined over the past few years, dropping from a high of 159 out of 435 Missouri middle schools in 2015-2016 to 227 out of 451 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. Addressing the school's academic challenges, particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and the high chronic absenteeism rates, could be crucial in improving student outcomes and better serving the Carrollton community.

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.
