Summary

Moberly Middle is a public middle school in Moberly, Missouri, serving 452 students in grades 6-8. The school has had a mixed performance record, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 154 and 399 out of Missouri's middle schools in recent years, and an overall rating of 2-3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars.

Moberly Middle faces several key challenges, including consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, lower-than-average proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA), and underperformance among its special education student population. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state average, indicating that it is effectively preparing a subset of its students for advanced mathematics. Compared to nearby schools like Harrisburg Middle and Sturgeon Middle, Moberly Middle has similar or slightly lower overall rankings, but its chronic absenteeism rates are higher, and its mathematics and ELA proficiency rates are lower in certain grade levels.

Despite spending more per student ($11,030 in 2021-2022) than nearby schools, Moberly Middle's performance challenges suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and the performance of its special education student population. By addressing these issues, the school can work to improve student outcomes and increase its overall ranking within the state.
