Summary:
The Advance R-IV school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Advance Elementary and Advance High. The data analysis reveals that Advance Elementary is a standout school within the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools in state-wide rankings and demonstrating strong academic performance.
Academically, students at Advance Elementary outperform the state average in both mathematics and English language arts assessments, with some grade levels exceeding 50% proficiency. Advance High also performs well, with 56.7% proficiency in Algebra I and 48.1% proficiency in 8th-grade science, both exceeding the state averages.
