Cassville Middle stands out in a few key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.31%) compared to nearby schools like Pierce City Middle, Monett Middle, and Southwest Middle, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Cassville Middle's proficiency rates on state tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly for students in special education and with disabilities. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (over 54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds.

Interestingly, Cassville Middle's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 294 out of 633 Missouri middle schools in 2013-2014 to 226 out of 459 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep pace with academic improvements across the state. In comparison, the nearby Monett R-I and Southwest R-V districts generally outperform Cassville Middle, providing potential models for improvement. By addressing the specific challenges facing its student population, Cassville Middle can work to enhance educational opportunities and outcomes for all its learners.

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.
