Summary:
The Neosho School District in Missouri is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with some standouts like RISE Elementary and Goodman Elementary outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet proficiency targets.
RISE Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 419 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year. It also boasts the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 48.46%, compared to the other schools which range from 54-74%. Goodman Elementary is another high performer, ranking 154 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools for the 2022-2023 school year and outperforming the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade math and ELA proficiency rates.
However, the district as a whole faces some significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.8% across all schools and varying levels of per-student spending, from $9,282 at Benton Elementary to $10,575 at Goodman Elementary. These factors may be contributing to the overall academic performance, which generally underperforms the district and state averages in math and ELA proficiency rates. The data highlights opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the Neosho School District.
