Summary:
The Pettis County R-V school district in Missouri operates two schools: Northwest High and Northwest Elementary. The district as a whole is a high-performing one, ranking 14th out of 367 districts in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Northwest Elementary stands out as an exceptional school within the district, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Missouri. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance across grade levels and subject areas, with 62.4% of 3rd graders, 79.1% of 4th graders, and 63.3% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better in math. In English Language Arts, 79.1% of 4th graders and 49.9% of 6th graders scored proficient or better. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 may contribute to its success.
In contrast, Northwest High has more average performance metrics, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 85th and 184th out of Missouri high schools in recent years. However, the school still maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 100%. Both schools share a concern with high chronic absenteeism rates of 26.2%, which may be an area for further investigation and targeted interventions.
