Summary:
The Knob Noster R-VIII school district in Missouri is home to a single middle school, Knob Noster Middle, which serves grades 6-8. This middle school appears to be a strong performer, ranking in the top 26% of Missouri middle schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years.
Knob Noster Middle's test scores are generally above the state averages in both math and English language arts across grades 6-8, with particularly exceptional performance in 8th grade math and science. The school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate is also remarkably high at 92.5%, far surpassing the district and state averages. However, the 6th grade math proficiency rate is notably lower than the state average, suggesting a potential area for improvement in the school's math curriculum and instruction for younger students.
While the school's overall performance is strong, its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6% is slightly higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern that the school and district should address. Additionally, 35.52% of Knob Noster Middle students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school district spends $10,721 per student, which is slightly above the state average, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.2.
