Summary:
The Kirbyville Middle is the sole middle school serving grades 4-8 in the Kirbyville R-VI school district in Missouri. While the district is ranked 157 out of 386 in the state, Kirbyville Middle has received inconsistent ratings from SchoolDigger, ranging from 1 to 3 stars over the past three years.
Kirbyville Middle stands out for its strong math performance, with 4th, 6th, and 8th grade math proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggles in 7th grade English Language Arts, with a proficiency rate much lower than the state's. This disparity in academic performance suggests the school may need to focus on strengthening its ELA instruction. Additionally, Kirbyville Middle serves a high-poverty student population, with over 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
Despite the school's fluctuating ratings, Kirbyville Middle maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8 to 1 and spends $11,644 per student, which is above the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.5% is also within an acceptable range. By addressing the disparities in academic performance and supporting its economically disadvantaged student population, Kirbyville Middle has the potential to achieve more consistent and higher-quality educational outcomes for its students.
