Middle Schools in Harrisonville R-Ix

The Harrisonville R-Ix school district in Missouri has one middle school, Harrisonville Middle, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in most subject areas falling below the state averages.

Harrisonville Middle's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 227 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2021-2022 to 299 out of 459 in 2022-2023. In the current 2023-2024 school year, the school ranks 217 out of 451 and has a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's performance in 7th-grade math and Algebra I is on par with the state, its proficiency rates in other subjects, such as 8th-grade science and English Language Arts, are below the state averages.

Additionally, Harrisonville Middle faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with 33.77% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $10,817 in the 2021-2022 school year is also relatively low. While the school's low student-teacher ratio may be a strength, the combination of academic underperformance and socioeconomic factors suggests that the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions to improve student learning outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students.
