Summary:
The city of Stover, Missouri is home to two public schools, Morgan County R-I Elementary and Morgan County R-I High, both serving students from the Morgan County R-I school district. While the schools face challenges common to high-poverty areas, they also demonstrate notable successes.
Both Morgan County R-I Elementary and Morgan County R-I High have extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating that the student populations come from predominantly low-income households. However, Morgan County R-I High stands out with an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate. Conversely, both schools struggle with elevated chronic absenteeism rates, which may impact student learning and academic outcomes.
Academically, the schools' test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic achievement and close performance gaps. Despite these challenges, the data provides a glimpse into the educational landscape in Stover, highlighting both the obstacles and the successes of the local school system.
