Middle Schools in Allen Village

Summary:

There is only one middle school located in Allen Village, Missouri - Allen Village Junior Academy. This school serves grades 6-8 and has faced significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Allen Village Junior Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools over the past three school years and has performed well below state averages on standardized tests. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.3% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 45.5%. However, the school's performance on the 8th grade Science test was a relative bright spot, with 48.2% of students proficient or better, compared to the 39.2% state average.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $17,636 in 2021-2022, it has struggled with operational issues, including a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 11.1% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 92.08% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Addressing these issues will be crucial in improving outcomes for the Allen Village community.
