Moniteau County R-I

The Moniteau County R-I school district in Missouri consists of three schools: California Elementary, California Middle, and California High. The district has seen consistent high performance at the middle and high school levels, with both California Middle and California High maintaining strong state-wide rankings and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years.

While California Elementary is still performing reasonably well, the school has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking over the past 3 years, from 357 to 488 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are slightly below the state averages, and its chronic absenteeism rate is on the higher end. These factors may suggest potential areas for improvement at the elementary school level.

The data also suggests that the district may need to allocate more resources to support its younger students, as the higher free and reduced lunch rates at the elementary and middle schools compared to the high school could indicate a need for additional support. The higher spending per student at the high school level could be a reflection of the district's prioritization of resources for its older students. Overall, the Moniteau County R-I school district appears to have strong-performing middle and high schools, but continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address any disparities across grade levels.
