The elementary and middle schools in the Gladstone School District 115 outperform the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency, with John Wetten Elementary also exceeding averages in Mathematics. However, Gladstone High School lags behind in 11th-grade proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The district's relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 13.7 to 19.1, may contribute to the stronger performance at the elementary and middle school levels.
Across the district, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.02% to 41.81%. This factor may be an important consideration when analyzing the schools' academic performance and resource allocation, as the district spends between $7,734 and $18,145 per student depending on the school level.
