Elementary Schools in Midway R-I

Summary:

The Midway R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Midway Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school benefits from smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.3, its academic performance has been declining in recent years compared to other Missouri elementary schools.

Midway Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 383 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024 to 581 out of 900 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend. The school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 29.1% compared to the state average of 44.8%. In mathematics, Midway Elementary's 4th and 6th grade proficiency rates were also below the state averages.

While the school's higher-than-average spending of $12,725 per student in 2021-2022 could be a positive factor, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (30.26% in 2023-2024) suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting its student population. Overall, the data indicates that Midway Elementary is underperforming compared to other Missouri elementary schools and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap.
