Summary

Yeatman-Liddell Middle School is a public middle school in St. Louis City, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 392 students.

In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests ranged from just 1-6.3% in math and 5-6.3% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 32.7-45.5% in math and 39.3-42.2% in ELA. The school also faces extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 50.1% to 78.8% in recent years, and has a high-poverty student population with 98.94-100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The charter schools in the area, such as KIPP Inspire Academy, KIPP Triumph Academy, and Grand Center Arts Academy Middle, generally have higher academic proficiency rates than the traditional public schools, though they still struggle to reach state averages.
