Clark County Middle

Clark County Middle School is a public middle school in Kahoka, Missouri, serving 228 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clark County R-I District, which is ranked 185 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Clark County Middle School has shown mixed performance compared to the state average. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science were above the state average in 2024-2025, its English Language Arts proficiency rates were below the state average. The school's Mathematics proficiency has fluctuated over the years, with the 6th grade consistently outperforming the 7th and 8th grades. In Science, the 8th-grade proficiency rate was significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates have been consistently lower than the state average across all grade levels.

Another area of concern for the school is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.8% to 19.5% over the past few years. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.75% to 57.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school is performing better for its low-income student population compared to other Missouri middle schools, suggesting that it is effectively supporting this student group.
