Summary

Harrisonville Middle is a public middle school in Harrisonville, Missouri, serving 507 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Harrisonville R-IX district, which is ranked 209 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harrisonville Middle has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 171 to 392 out of Missouri's middle schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied between 2 and 3 stars. The school performs relatively well for special education students, ranking 87th out of 196 in 2024-2025, but struggles with white students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom third of Missouri middle schools. Harrisonville Middle has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.9% in 2021-2022 to 25.8% in 2023-2024. While the school's test scores are generally below state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and 8th-grade Mathematics, it performs better in Algebra I, with 74.9% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as East Trails Middle, Pleasant Lea Middle, and Summit Lakes Middle, which are part of the Lee's Summit R-VII district, Harrisonville Middle generally performs worse, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of students from low-income families. However, Harrisonville Middle's strong Algebra I performance and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that the school has some strengths that could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.
