Middle Schools in Bowling Green R-I

Summary:

The Bowling Green R-I school district in Missouri has only one middle school, Bowling Green Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 120th out of 451 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 to 269th out of 438 in 2024-2025.

Bowling Green Middle School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's 7th grade Math proficiency rate was significantly higher than the state average in 2023-2024, its proficiency rates in Math and ELA are generally below the state average for most other grade levels. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a strength.

With nearly half of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Bowling Green Middle School serves a high-poverty population, which may contribute to its academic challenges. The school's inconsistent performance and areas of weakness suggest it could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.
