Summary:
The Union R-Xi school district in Missouri consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a range of performance, with some standout institutions and areas for improvement.
Beaufort Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and particularly strong performance in mathematics and science. In contrast, the other two elementary schools, Central Elementary and Prairie Dell Elementary, have more mixed performance, suggesting opportunities for improvement and sharing of best practices across the elementary schools.
Union High is a strong-performing high school, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri high schools and maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85%. However, the district as a whole faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the variation in spending per student across the schools indicates a need for the district to examine its resource allocation and ensure equitable funding and support for all its institutions.
