Bernie R-Xiii

Summary:

The Bernie R-Xiii school district in Missouri is home to two schools - Bernie Elementary and Bernie High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.

Bernie Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students excel on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates exceed state and district averages. In contrast, Bernie High School shows promise, with a strong 96.3% four-year graduation rate and solid performance in English language arts and biology, but struggles with mathematics, where only 13.9% of 7th graders meet proficiency standards.

Both Bernie Elementary and Bernie High School serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district appears to be investing in its schools, with relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the overall strong performance. However, the district may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students and improve mathematics achievement at the high school level.
