Worth County R-III

Summary:

The Worth County R-III school district in Missouri is home to two schools: Worth County Elementary and Worth County High. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, providing educational opportunities in a rural area.

Worth County Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, with 5th and 6th-grade students exceeding the state averages in Mathematics proficiency on the MAP test. The school has also maintained a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Worth County High has achieved a remarkable 100% four-year graduation rate, an impressive accomplishment. Both schools share a low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.3% in the 2023-2024 school year.

The data also reveals that a significant proportion of students in the Worth County R-III school district come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 50% of students at both schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the district may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of these students and ensure equitable educational opportunities. Despite these challenges, the district has made strides in improving the performance of its elementary school, while maintaining strong graduation rates at the high school level.
