Dunklin R-V

Summary:

The Dunklin R-V school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district's performance and demographics vary, with some standout schools like Herculaneum High School excelling academically, while others face challenges in student achievement and resource allocation.

Herculaneum High School is the district's top performer, ranking 93 out of 367 Missouri high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.3% and strong performance on state assessments, with 69% of students proficient or better in English II and 50.8% in Biology I. In contrast, Senn-Thomas Middle School and Pevely Elementary generally perform below the state averages on MAP assessments in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

The district also faces challenges in student demographics, with Taylor Early Childhood Center having the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 89.29%, indicating a high-need student population. This disparity in socioeconomic status is also reflected in the varying per-student spending, with Pevely Elementary spending the most at $13,749 per student and Senn-Thomas Middle School spending the least at $10,653 per student. Addressing these equity concerns and replicating the success of Herculaneum High School across the district should be a priority for the Dunklin R-V school district.
