Summary:
The Miller R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Central Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 6th grade. While the school's performance is in the middle range compared to other Missouri elementary schools, its academic proficiency varies across grade levels and subject areas.
Central Elementary's mathematics proficiency is above the state average in 3rd and 4th grades but falls below in 5th and 6th grades. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency is below the state average across all tested grades. However, the school's science proficiency in 5th grade is above the state average. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (63.61%), the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to its academic performance.
Additionally, Central Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.0%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The school's overall performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger rating and statewide ranking, has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities in academic proficiency and attendance issues.
