Middle Schools in Guadalupe Centers Schools

Guadalupe Centers Schools operates a single middle school, Guadalupe Centers Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8 in Missouri. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state, with a statewide ranking in the bottom quartile and a below-average 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Guadalupe Centers Middle struggles academically, with proficiency rates in MAP tests significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 6th grade math proficiency rate was 22.5%, compared to the state average of 45.5%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 30.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, well above the state average.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $17,009 in the 2021-2022 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the school's predominantly low-income student population, with 99.15% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Significant improvements are needed in the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and strategies to support student success.
