Elementary Schools in Smithville R-II

Summary:

The Smithville R-II school district in Missouri is home to three elementary schools: Eagle Heights Elementary, Horizon Elementary, and Maple Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade in the Smithville area.

Based on the data, Horizon Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Missouri. Horizon Elementary's test scores significantly exceed the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 72.9% of 3rd graders at Horizon Elementary were proficient or better in Math, compared to 63.4% for the Smithville R-II district and 41.4% for the state of Missouri.

In contrast, the other two elementary schools in the district, Eagle Heights Elementary and Maple Elementary, have lower test scores across the board. This suggests there may be performance gaps within the Smithville R-II district that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school with the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, Maple Elementary, does not appear to be the highest performer, indicating that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the schools' academic outcomes.
