Butler R-V

The Butler R-V school district in Missouri operates three schools: two elementary schools (Butler Elementary and Butler Early Childhood) and one high school (Butler High). The district's performance is a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with the high school showing progress in academic achievement but the district as a whole facing challenges with chronic absenteeism and resource allocation, particularly in early childhood education.

Butler High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 98.3% and improving performance on state assessments, though its statewide ranking has declined. In contrast, Butler Elementary School has strong performance on state science assessments and relatively high ELA proficiency rates, but its statewide ranking has fluctuated. Both schools, as well as the district as a whole, have academic proficiency rates that are generally below state averages.

The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Butler Early Childhood having a significantly higher student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary and high school levels. Additionally, both Butler High School and Butler Elementary have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
