Elementary Schools in Miller County R-III

Summary:

The Miller County R-III school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Miller County Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 126 students.

Despite the school's small size, its academic performance is concerning. In the 2024-2025 school year, Miller County Elementary ranked 830 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and was rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests was well below the state averages, with only 7.2% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics and 14.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, significantly higher than the state average.

Socioeconomic challenges may be contributing to the school's struggles, as 46.03% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school district's spending of $11,042 per student is relatively high, but it does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students. With a small student-teacher ratio of 8.8 to 1, the school may face unique challenges in terms of staffing, program offerings, and access to resources, which could be hindering its ability to provide a high-quality education to its students.
