Summary:
The East Newton County R-VI school district in Missouri operates two elementary schools: Granby and Triway. Based on the available data, Triway appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently outperforming Granby and the overall district on various academic measures.
Triway's students demonstrate higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels compared to Granby and the district as a whole. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Triway's 6th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 54.2%, while the district's rate was 43.5% and the statewide rate was 45.5%. Similarly, Triway's 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 48%, compared to 32.9% for the district and 39.4% statewide. Triway also has a stronger statewide ranking, placed at 510 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools, while Granby is ranked 635 out of 900.
However, both Granby and Triway face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively high-poverty student population, with 69.7% and 73.27% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Granby and Triway, respectively, in 2023-2024. These socioeconomic factors may present additional challenges for the schools in terms of resources, support, and student needs.
