Cedar Ridge Intermediate

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Cedar Ridge Intermediate is a public middle school located in Branson, Missouri, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 479 students. It is part of the Branson R-IV school district.

Cedar Ridge Intermediate faces several challenges compared to nearby schools and the state average. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, with a 26.5% rate in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Branson R-IV district and the state of Missouri. For example, the school's 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rate is 45.6%, compared to 43.8% for the district and the state.

Another notable factor is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Cedar Ridge Intermediate, with a rate of 66.6% in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby Buchanan Intermediate (56.37%) and Branson Junior High (57.03%). Despite the higher spending per student at Cedar Ridge Intermediate compared to the state average, the school's performance suggests that the allocation and utilization of these resources may need to be evaluated to better support student learning and achievement.
