Summary:
The zip code 65231 contains only one school, North Callaway Middle School, a public middle school serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 234 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance, as measured by Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) test scores, is consistently below the state averages in all subject areas, including mathematics, science, and English language arts.
North Callaway Middle School's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 292 out of 454 schools (2 stars) in 2020-2021 to 339 out of 459 schools (1 star) in 2021-2022. This inconsistency in performance may be a concern for parents and the community. Additionally, with nearly half of the school's students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may be serving a population with higher socioeconomic needs, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges.
The school's per-student spending of $9,581 for the 2021-2022 school year and a student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year provide some insight into the school's financial resources and staffing. However, without a comparison to other schools or districts, it is difficult to determine if this level of spending and staffing is adequate or efficient in supporting the school's educational goals. Overall, the analysis suggests that North Callaway County R-I may need to focus on improving the academic performance and addressing the unique needs of the student population at North Callaway Middle School.
