Summary:

The North Pemiscot County R-I school district in Missouri operates two schools: North Pemiscot Senior High, a high school, and Ross Elementary, an elementary school. Both schools face significant challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Neither North Pemiscot Senior High nor Ross Elementary stand out as high-performing schools in the district. Both schools have very low proficiency rates on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests, with most subjects falling well below the state average. Additionally, both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 17.9% of students at each school being chronically absent.

The data suggests that the schools in the North Pemiscot County R-I district face significant socioeconomic challenges, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This likely contributes to the academic struggles, and the district may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, such as increased tutoring, social-emotional learning programs, and community partnerships.
