Best Public Schools in Bourbon, MO


Summary:

The city of Bourbon, Missouri is home to three schools: Bourbon Elementary School, Bourbon High School, and Bourbon Middle School, all of which are part of the Crawford County R-I school district. While the data reveals a stark contrast in the performance of these schools, with Bourbon Middle School standing out as a top performer, the district as a whole faces challenges in areas such as chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among its student population.

Bourbon Middle School is the standout school in the area, consistently ranking highly in the state with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2022-2023 school year, placing it in the top 10% of Missouri middle schools. This is a significant achievement compared to the 1-star ratings for the district and the other two schools. Bourbon Middle School outperforms the district and state averages on several key academic metrics, including math and science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th graders.

In contrast, Bourbon Elementary and Bourbon High School generally lag behind the district and state averages on academic performance, with particularly low proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology I at the high school level. Additionally, all three Bourbon schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.2% to 20.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This, combined with the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.49% to 54.98%, suggests that the Bourbon schools may be facing significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for their students.
