Middle Schools in North Platte County R-I

Summary:

North Platte County R-I school district in Missouri has a single middle school, North Platte Junior High, serving grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with a drop in its statewide ranking from 143 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2022-2023 to 199 out of 438 in 2024-2025.

North Platte Junior High's academic performance is mixed, with 6th grade math proficiency slightly below the state average and 8th grade math proficiency significantly below the state average, but 7th grade ELA proficiency above the state average. The school has a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a 27.54% free and reduced-price lunch rate, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.9%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $11,380 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6, its academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with this level of resource allocation. The district may need to examine how it is using its resources to support student learning and implement targeted interventions to address the school's challenges, such as improving math instruction and addressing high chronic absenteeism.
