Selvidge Middle has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 10-15% of Missouri middle schools in recent years. The school's students consistently outperform the state average in MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly strong performance in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts.

While Selvidge Middle's academic performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of other nearby middle schools in the Rockwood R-VI district, its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than some of its neighboring schools, such as Wildwood Middle and Rockwood Valley Middle. However, the school has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, from 22.3% in 2021-2022 to 14.5% in 2023-2024, indicating a positive trend. Selvidge Middle's spending per student has also increased, and the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic success.

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.
