Summary:
The Brookside Charter Middle School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 within the Brookside Charter School district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 205 students, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and spends $15,582 per student, which is higher than the state average.
However, the school's academic performance is concerning, as it ranks between 324-372 out of 438-459 Missouri middle schools and has earned a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Brookside Charter Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments are well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 17.6% of 6th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 45.5%. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 35.2%, which is much higher than the state average.
The data suggests that despite the school's relatively high resource levels, it is struggling to effectively serve its student population, 100% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's academic challenges and identify potential areas for improvement to better support the students and community.
