Marion C. Early Junior High

Q: Is Marion C. Early Junior High a good school?

Marion C. Early Junior High ranks 87 th of 451 Missouri middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Marion C. Early Junior High is a public middle school located in Morrisville, Missouri, serving 146 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Marion C. Early R-V School District, which is ranked 31 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Marion C. Early Junior High is its consistent academic performance in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 50% to 70.5% across grades 6-8, outperforming the state average. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and science has been more mixed, with ELA proficiency rates ranging from 35.2% to 37.2% and science proficiency around 28-30% for 8th grade, both below the state average. The school's white students have performed better than the state average for white students, but the school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students has been weaker, ranking in the bottom 30% of Missouri middle schools for this subgroup.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Reed Middle, Willard Intermediate-South, and Pipkin Middle, Marion C. Early Junior High stands out for its stronger performance in mathematics but faces challenges in ELA and science. The school also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.7% to 14.2%, which are higher than the state average. Despite increased spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance data suggests that more work may be needed to address these areas of concern and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
