Portageville

The Portageville school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Portageville High School and Portageville Elementary School. While Portageville High School has consistently ranked among the top schools in the state, Portageville Elementary has more room for improvement.

Portageville High School stands out as a high-performing institution, with a top 100 ranking in Missouri and a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and generally above-average test scores, particularly in mathematics and Algebra I. In contrast, Portageville Elementary School has a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, but its test scores are more mixed, with strong performance in 4th-grade math but lower scores in other subjects and grade levels.

The data also reveals a significant difference in the free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools, with Portageville High School at 58.71% and Portageville Elementary School at a much higher 99.32%. This suggests a wide socioeconomic divide within the Portageville community, and the elementary school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
