Carl Junction Intermediate

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Carl Junction Intermediate is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Carl Junction R-I school district, with 803 students, making it the largest middle school in the district. The school has seen a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate and an increasing free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite these challenges, Carl Junction Intermediate generally outperforms the state average on MAP testing across grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school is projected to have 66.1% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 45.5%. The school's ELA proficiency rates are also higher than the state, with 56.8% of 4th graders, 55.4% of 5th graders, and 55.4% of 6th graders projected to be proficient or better. Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 15.6 over the past few years, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Carl Junction Intermediate generally outperforms them in test scores, particularly in Math and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school is projected to have 66.1% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to 38.7% at Carthage 6th Grade Center and 39.5% at East Middle. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism and free and reduced lunch rates indicate potential areas for improvement and targeted interventions to support all students.
