Summary:
The Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Carrollton R-Vii school district in Missouri. The school serves students in grades 5-8 and has faced inconsistent academic performance, with strong results in 5th grade but declining proficiency in the upper middle school grades, particularly in math.
The school's overall ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently placing 277 out of 438 Missouri middle schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's 5th grade math and science proficiency rates are on par with or exceed the district and state averages, its 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math and 8th grade science proficiency lag behind. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.86%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and higher per-student spending of $10,018, the inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7% suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and strategies to better support student learning and attendance, particularly in the upper middle school grades.
