Summary

Eagle Heights Elementary is a public elementary school located in Smithville, Missouri, serving 465 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Smithville R-II School District, which is ranked 32 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eagle Heights Elementary has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools in recent years with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average, particularly in mathematics, where the 3rd-grade proficiency rate was 54.3% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.4%. Eagle Heights Elementary has also consistently outperformed the Smithville R-II district average on state assessments, indicating it is a strong performer within the district. However, when compared to some top-performing schools outside the district, such as Rising Hill Elementary and Bell Prairie Elementary, Eagle Heights Elementary's performance is not as strong, particularly in mathematics and science.

Eagle Heights Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 18.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school has shown strong performance with its low-income student population, ranking 30 out of 907 Missouri elementary schools in this subgroup in 2018-2019. However, the school's performance with its white student population has been more variable, ranking as low as 351 out of 666 Missouri elementary schools in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing any achievement gaps or disparities between different student subgroups to ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed. Additionally, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.3% to 16.2% in recent years, indicate that improving student attendance and engagement could be an area of focus for the school.
