Spokane Middle ranks 199 th of 459 Missouri middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Spokane Middle School is a public middle school serving 147 students in grades 6-8 in Spokane, Missouri. The school is part of the Spokane R-VII school district, which is ranked 118 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spokane Middle has some notable strengths, such as exceptional 6th grade math performance, with 69.8% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.7%. However, the school also faces challenges, including significantly lower 8th grade math scores (11.1% proficient) than the state average of 30%. Additionally, Spokane Middle has a relatively high percentage of students (44.22%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting potential declines in performance compared to other middle schools in Missouri.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Ozark Middle School and Nixa Junior High, which are ranked among the top 15 middle schools in the state, Spokane Middle's performance is generally lower. This indicates that the school may face challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities and supporting student achievement, particularly for its white students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, who have significantly lower performance than the overall school.

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.
