Summary:

The city of Jennings, Missouri is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data paints a picture of a school district that is struggling academically, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.

While the overall performance is poor, there are a few standout schools in the district. Fairview Primary has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 3rd grade, with 50.9% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 23.6% and the state average of 41.8%. Additionally, Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary has some of the stronger performance metrics in the district, with higher-than-average proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts across grades 4-6.

The data also reveals significant equity challenges, with all schools in the Jennings district having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate is likely a major factor contributing to the academic struggles. The district also faces resource allocation concerns, with a wide range in per-student spending from $8,850 to $12,271.
