Summary:
The city of Desloge, Missouri is home to three schools, including one elementary school, two middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools. These schools are part of the North St. Francois County R-I school district, which is ranked 293 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While there are no clear standout schools in terms of overall performance, the Intermediate School has the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts across grades 5 and 6, outperforming the district and state averages in most areas. Additionally, North County Middle School has very high proficiency rates in Algebra I, with 80% and 92.2% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025 and 2023-2024, respectively, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.
However, the schools in Desloge face some significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 16.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 41.44% to 45.78%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 11.4 to 14 students per teacher, the overall academic performance of the schools appears to be inconsistent and in need of targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students.
