Summary

Union Middle is a public middle school serving 668 students in grades 6-8 in the Union R-XI school district in Union, Missouri. The school has consistently been ranked in the top 30% of Missouri middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 117 out of 438 middle schools in the state and a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Union Middle stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average on MAP assessments across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school is particularly noteworthy for its Algebra I performance, with 95% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district (48.8%) and state (41.5%) averages. Additionally, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is exceptional, ranking 14th out of 378 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024.

The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7 in 2023-2024 may also contribute to its strong academic success.
