Best Public Schools in Prairie Home, MO

Summary:

The city of Prairie Home, Missouri is home to two schools - Prairie Home Elementary and Prairie Home High. Both schools serve a relatively small student population and are part of the Prairie Home R-V school district, which is performing below average compared to other districts in the state.

While Prairie Home High School once ranked in the 98th percentile statewide, it has seen a significant decline in its ranking, now sitting in the 247th percentile. Both Prairie Home Elementary and Prairie Home High have relatively low test scores compared to the state averages, with only 21.4% of 6th graders at the elementary school proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 27.9% of students at the high school proficient or better in Algebra I. These low academic performance metrics suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.

Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with both schools reporting high rates of 12.7% for the 2023-2024 school year. While the small school sizes and low student-teacher ratios could be an advantage, the data indicates these factors alone are not enough to overcome the challenges facing these schools. Addressing attendance issues and finding ways to boost academic performance will be crucial for improving the educational experience for students in Prairie Home.
