Jarrett Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools, with a ranking between 240-342 out of 438-459 schools in recent years. Its academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is generally below the Springfield R-XII district and the state of Missouri averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics.
