Summary:
The Arcadia Valley R-II school district in Missouri operates three schools: Arcadia Valley Elementary, Arcadia Valley High, and Arcadia Valley Middle. The district as a whole is ranked 219 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Arcadia Valley Elementary stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Missouri elementary schools and outperforming the state average in 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. However, the school serves a high-need student population, with a 100.25% free/reduced lunch rate. In contrast, Arcadia Valley High struggles with test scores, with only 23.9% and 25.4% of students proficient in Algebra I and Biology I, respectively, despite maintaining a high 97.6% four-year graduation rate.
Arcadia Valley Middle also serves a high-need student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, and is ranked in the top 50% of Missouri middle schools. The school demonstrates strong performance in 6th-grade English Language Arts, but like the other schools in the district, faces challenges in overall academic achievement. Chronic absenteeism rates are high across all three schools, and there appears to be an imbalance in resource allocation, with the high school spending significantly more per student than the elementary and middle schools.
