Summary:
The Senn-Thomas Middle School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Dunklin R-V school district in Missouri. With an enrollment of 340 students, the school faces challenges in academic performance, with test scores generally below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Senn-Thomas Middle School is ranked 267 out of 438 Missouri middle schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2% is higher than the state average, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2 and higher per-student spending of $10,653, suggesting that resources may not be the primary issue. The school serves a high-need student population, with 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the overall academic challenges, Senn-Thomas Middle School stands out in one area - its Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate of 73.8% is significantly higher than the state average of 45.4%. This suggests the school may be effectively supporting students in this specific subject area. Overall, the data indicates that Senn-Thomas Middle School is facing challenges in terms of academic achievement, particularly in core subject areas like math and English language arts, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and supporting the high-need student population could be important areas of focus for the school and district.
