Summary:

The city of Ironton, Missouri has only one middle school, Arcadia Valley Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has shown a declining trend in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 158 to 239 out of 438-459 Missouri middle schools, and its performance rating by SchoolDigger decreasing from 3 to 2 stars out of 5.

Arcadia Valley Middle School's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are generally below the state averages across subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 100%, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.1, which may impact the quality of individualized attention and support that students receive.

Despite the challenges faced by Arcadia Valley Middle School, the data suggests that the school and the Arcadia Valley R-II district may need to address the declining performance trend and underperformance on standardized tests to improve student outcomes and provide a more supportive learning environment for the community.
