Seymour Middle

Public Grades 6-8

Summary

Seymour Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Seymour, Missouri, part of the Seymour R-II school district. With 166 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.4, the school has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the state average, with strengths in 6th grade math and 8th grade science, but weaknesses in 7th grade math and 8th grade ELA.

One key challenge for Seymour Middle is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.6% to 24.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a higher proportion of low-income students, with 34.94% to 60.95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is relatively strong, ranking 90 out of 382 Missouri middle schools in this category in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Seymour Middle's performance is mixed. Logan-Rogersville Middle and Mansfield Junior High consistently outperform Seymour Middle on state assessments, but Seymour Middle outperforms Fordland Middle in several areas. Seymour Middle's performance has also fluctuated over the years, with the school ranking as low as 424 out of 587 Missouri middle schools in 2018-2019, but improving to 141 out of 451 in the most recent year, suggesting the school may be making progress, but still has room for improvement.
