Spokane Middle

Q: Is Spokane Middle a good school?

Spokane Middle ranks 140 th of 451 Missouri middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Spokane Middle is a public middle school serving 147 students in grades 6-8 in Spokane, Missouri, which is part of the Spokane R-VII school district. While the school generally performs better than the state average in mathematics, it struggles in English Language Arts and has relatively high chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch rates compared to nearby schools.

Spokane Middle's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 89th out of 435 Missouri middle schools in 2015-2016 to 140th out of 451 in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly low for its White and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of Missouri middle schools for these groups. Compared to nearby schools like Ozark Middle School, Nixa Junior High, and Branson Junior High, Spokane Middle generally underperforms in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates.

The high chronic absenteeism and disparities in performance for certain student subgroups suggest that Spokane Middle may need to focus on improving attendance and addressing the needs of its most vulnerable student populations. Addressing these areas could help the school improve its overall performance and better serve its 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.
