Summary

Triway is an elementary school located in Stella, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 449 students. The school is part of the East Newton County R-VI school district, which is ranked 198 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Triway's student performance on state assessments (MAP) is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics was 33.2% at Triway, compared to 30.4% in the East Newton County R-VI district and 41.4% statewide. However, Triway's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform relatively well compared to other Missouri elementary schools, ranking in the top 20-30% in recent years. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.8% to 24.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Triway spends more per student ($9,302 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, but its student-teacher ratio of 13.5 in 2023-2024 is higher than the nearby schools, such as Benton Elementary and Goodman Elementary in the Neosho School District. Triway's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, from 645 out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 510 out of 900 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
