Summary

East Buchanan Middle is a public middle school located in Easton, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 169 students. The school is part of the East Buchanan County C-1 school district, which is ranked 50 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Buchanan Middle has consistently performed well on state assessments, with several grades and subjects ranking in the top 50-100 middle schools in Missouri over the past several years. In 2021-2022, the school ranked 42nd out of 459 middle schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been strong, with rankings in the top 100-200 middle schools in the state. However, the school's performance for special education students has been relatively weaker, ranking 148th out of 192 middle schools in 2022-2023. East Buchanan Middle has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism over the past few years, from 15.2% in 2021-2022 to 11.8% in 2023-2024, though this is still slightly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Savannah Middle, North Platte Junior High, and the St. Joseph middle schools, East Buchanan Middle generally outperforms them in academic metrics, student-teacher ratio, and spending per student. This suggests the school is providing a more robust educational experience for its students. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (around 25%) compared to some of the nearby schools (up to 100%) may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
