Summary

Saeger Middle is a high-performing public middle school located in Saint Charles, Missouri, serving 737 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Francis Howell R-III School District, which is ranked 22nd out of 367 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Saeger Middle consistently outperforms the state average in MAP test scores, with its 6th-grade students scoring 63.3% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5%, and its 8th-grade students scoring 52.4% proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 39.2%. The school also supports different student subgroups well, with its White students ranking 67th out of 358 Missouri middle schools and its Special Education students ranking 37th out of 196 Missouri middle schools, both with 4-star ratings.

While Saeger Middle's academic performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of nearby middle schools within the Francis Howell R-III School District, such as Barnwell Middle and Bryan Middle, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 11.7% to 14.25% in recent years, suggests a less diverse socioeconomic population compared to some nearby schools. Additionally, Saeger Middle has seen a slight increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 14.8% in 2022-2023 to 16.5% in 2023-2024, which is an area the school may want to monitor and address.
