Summary:
The Mt. Vernon R-V school district in Missouri has one middle school, Mount Vernon Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 356 students.
Mount Vernon Middle has been ranked between 236-265 out of 438-459 Missouri middle schools over the past 3 school years, earning a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates in math, ELA, and science are below the state average, ranging from 27-42.9% proficient compared to the state averages of 39.3-45.5%. However, the school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate of 92.3% is significantly higher than the state average of 41.5%. The school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2% and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 43.26%, indicating a population with significant economic disadvantages.
While Mount Vernon Middle has some bright spots, such as its Algebra I performance, the school appears to be underperforming compared to state averages across several key metrics. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism rate and identifying the root causes of the lower academic performance in core subjects could be important next steps for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
