Summary:

The city of Pacific, Missouri is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Meramec Valley R-III school district. While some schools like Zitzman Elementary and Riverbend School are performing well, others like Pacific High and Truman Elementary are struggling, with test scores well below the state average.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance across the district. Zitzman Elementary stands out with consistently high performance, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, while Riverbend School is a strong middle school, placing in the top 35% of Missouri middle schools. However, Pacific High has a 4-year graduation rate of 92.8%, above the state average, but its test scores are below par, with only 21.2% of students proficient or better in Algebra I.

Across the district, there are concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 22.4% and a significant economically disadvantaged population, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 35.95% at Pacific High to 61.32% at Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center. These factors may be contributing to the performance gaps observed between the schools.
