Summary:
The Maryville R-II school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Eugene Field Elementary and Early Childhood Center), 1 middle school (Maryville Middle), and 1 high school (Maryville High). The district's performance is mixed, with Maryville High being a standout, while the elementary and middle schools struggle to meet state averages.
Maryville High School is the district's top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Missouri and outperforming the state average on several key metrics, including English II, Government, and Algebra II. The school boasts an impressive 99.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.1% dropout rate. In contrast, Eugene Field Elementary has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools and underperforming the state average on most math and English language arts assessments.
The district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 17.3% to 17.3%. Additionally, there are significant differences in free/reduced lunch rates between the schools, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities that may be impacting student outcomes. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also be a factor in the performance differences, and the district may need to examine ways to ensure equitable resource allocation to address these challenges.
