Northwest R-I

Summary:

The Northwest R-I school district in Missouri consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 123 out of 367 school districts in Missouri and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Cedar Springs Elementary ranks 132 out of 900 elementary schools in Missouri and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with the highest test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects compared to the district and state averages. Woodridge Middle School ranks 171 out of 438 middle schools in Missouri and has strong test scores, particularly in 7th grade English Language Arts. As the only high school in the data set, Northwest High stands out with a 91.4% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average.

However, the district also faces some challenges. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is 19.7%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a wide range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 26.77% at House Springs Early Child Center to 51.98% at High Ridge Elementary, suggesting potential equity concerns within the district. The district should examine these areas and implement strategies to address the disparities and improve student outcomes across all schools.
