Summary:
The Laclede County R-I school district in Missouri operates two schools: Ezard Elementary and Conway High Schools. Both schools serve a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the area.
Ezard Elementary has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 511 in 2023-2024 to 449 in 2022-2023, and it performed above the state average in 6th-grade math proficiency. However, the school's performance in other grade levels and subject areas was mixed, with some grades performing below the state average. Conway High Schools maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in the previous two school years and achieved an above-average four-year graduation rate, but its performance on end-of-course exams was variable, with students performing below the state average in Algebra I but above the state average in Biology I and Government.
Both Ezard Elementary and Conway High Schools had relatively low student-teacher ratios, but they also faced the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area that the Laclede County R-I district needs to address to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data provides a detailed snapshot of the two schools, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement, which could inform the district's strategic planning and resource allocation decisions.
