Middle Schools in Missouri Valley Community School District

Summary:

The Missouri Valley Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, Missouri Valley Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 142nd out of 337 Iowa middle schools in 2023-2024 to 199th out of 344 in 2024-2025.

Missouri Valley Middle School's academic performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to state averages. In 2024-2025, the school outperformed the state average in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts, as well as 8th grade Science, but underperformed in 6th grade Math. The school also faces challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.58% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024, both of which are higher than state averages.

Despite these challenges, Missouri Valley Middle School appears to have a focus on providing adequate resources for its students, with a relatively high per-student spending of $13,227 in 2018-2019 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.7. However, further analysis would be needed to understand how these resources are being utilized and their impact on student outcomes.
