Summary

Doniphan Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Doniphan, Missouri, with 329 students. The school is part of the Doniphan R-I school district, which is ranked 126 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Doniphan Intermediate has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average, while others lag behind. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 255 out of 900 schools (4 stars) to 667 out of 1,052 schools (2 stars). One notable strength is the school's exceptional performance for its low-income students, ranking in the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school has struggled with its special education and white student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Missouri schools for these groups. Additionally, Doniphan Intermediate has had high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to its uneven academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Doniphan Intermediate generally performs better than the Neelyville and Naylor elementary schools, but lags behind the Ripley County elementary schools in terms of overall statewide ranking and performance. The school's close proximity to its feeder school, Doniphan Elementary, could present opportunities for collaboration and improvement.
