Summary

Reeds Spring Middle is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Reeds Spring R-IV school district, with 292 students located in Reeds Spring, Missouri. Over the past 10 years, the school's performance has fluctuated, ranking between the 138th and 416th out of 587 Missouri middle schools, and is currently ranked 219th out of 438 with a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reeds Spring Middle faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.9% to 31.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Forsyth Middle (18.0%) and Kirbyville Middle (10.5%). The school's test scores are also generally below state averages, especially in English Language Arts and Science. Additionally, Reeds Spring Middle ranks very low among Missouri middle schools for its special education and disabled student subgroups, indicating challenges in serving these populations effectively.

While Reeds Spring Middle struggles in many areas, it stands out for its strong Algebra I performance, with 87.4% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 45.4%. However, the school's overall performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. Addressing the school's challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and below-average test scores, should be a priority for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
