Summary:
The Campbell R-II school district in Missouri operates two schools: Campbell Elementary and Campbell High. While Campbell High has maintained a stronger statewide ranking, both schools face significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage among their student populations.
Campbell Elementary has consistently low statewide rankings, placing in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools over the past few years. Its ranking has declined from 612 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024 to 501 out of 900 schools in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Campbell High has maintained a stronger statewide ranking, placing 188 out of 367 Missouri high schools in 2024-2025 and earning a 2-star rating. However, its ranking has dropped from a high of 13 out of 361 schools in 2021-2022.
Both schools have extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at over 99% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Academic performance at both schools is also a concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to the overall academic challenges.
