Summary:
Marais Des Cygnes Valley Elementary (prekindergarten–grade 5), Marais Des Cygnes Valley Middle (grades 6–8), and Marais Des Cygnes Valley High (grades 9–12) serve 175 students across the area. The latest reported results show a clear split by subject: the two schools with 2025–26 results were above the state average in English language arts (ELA), but below it in math.
Elementary leads the latest all-grades ELA results at 57%, compared with 47% at Middle and 46% statewide. But results vary within grades: Middle’s 6th-grade ELA was 73%, 31 points above the state, while its 7th-grade math was 8%, 30 points below. High had the standout single score in the prior year: 92% proficient in math, 54 points above the state. That was not matched in its ELA, which was 31%, 14 points below the state; its 2025–26 11th-grade science result was 10%, 20 points below the state.
Math fell sharply from 2024–25 to 2025–26 at both schools with results for both years: down 15 points at Elementary and 18 at Middle, while the state result rose 2 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings moved in different directions: High rose from the 39th to 71st percentile in its latest available ranking, while Elementary and Middle declined 6 and 5 percentile points. Ratios are similar, from 8.3 students per teacher at Middle to 9.6 at Elementary; reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 60% at High to 74% at Middle. Attendance also differs: chronic absenteeism was 45% at Elementary, 20% at Middle, and 2% at High, compared with 18% statewide. Results are not available for every school, subject, and year, and small cohorts can make scores sensitive to a few students.
