Summary:
The Stoutland R-II school district in Missouri operates two schools: Stoutland Elementary and Stoutland High. Both schools have consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri schools on key metrics.
Stoutland Elementary has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has struggled with low proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and science. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 73.08% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Stoutland High also has a 1-star rating and low test scores, along with a concerning dropout rate of 6.6%, which is higher than the state average.
Both schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates of 17.0% at both the elementary and high school levels. Additionally, the data shows little to no improvement in academic performance over the past three years, indicating a need for significant interventions and support to address the persistent challenges faced by these schools. Addressing these issues should be a top priority for the Stoutland R-II school district and the local community.
