Summary

Cabool Middle is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Cabool, Missouri, with 205 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 10:1. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance generally below state averages and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates.

Cabool Middle's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.2% to 37.4% in Math and ELA, compared to the state averages of 38.2% to 45.5% in Math and 39.3% to 44.3% in ELA. The school also has a very high percentage of students (over 98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Cabool Middle's statewide ranking has generally been in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to the nearby middle schools, such as Houston Middle, Willow Springs Middle, and Mountain Grove Middle, Cabool Middle generally has lower academic performance, higher chronic absenteeism, and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's ability to support its low-income students relatively well compared to the state average is a positive sign. To improve the school's overall performance, Cabool Middle may need to focus on addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, implementing targeted academic interventions, and leveraging its higher spending per student to provide additional resources and support for its students.
