Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 63361 zip code - Montgomery County Middle School. This public school serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Montgomery County R-II school district, which is ranked 259 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Montgomery County Middle School is facing significant challenges, with a declining statewide ranking that has gone from 304 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2022-2023 to a projected 378 out of 438 in 2024-2025. Student performance on state assessments is well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 26.2% of 6th graders proficient or better in math in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 45.5%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism, with 16.1% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the low student performance, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8. However, this does not seem to be enough to overcome the challenges the school is facing, which may be related to the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.76% in 2023-2024. Overall, Montgomery County Middle School appears to be a struggling school that needs further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student learning and engagement.
