Middle Schools in Lathrop R-II

Summary:

The Lathrop Middle School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Lathrop R-II school district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 206 students, the school maintains a relatively consistent statewide ranking, typically falling between 147th and 152nd out of around 450-460 Missouri middle schools.

While Lathrop Middle School holds a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance shows some areas of strength and others that could use improvement. The school's 8th grade science proficiency rates exceed the state average by a significant margin, indicating a particular strength in this subject area. However, English Language Arts proficiency, especially in 7th grade, falls below both district and state averages, suggesting a need for additional support and intervention in this domain.

Other key metrics reveal that Lathrop Middle School has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a common indicator of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which may contribute to its overall stability and performance within the state.
