Summary:
The Marshall school district in Missouri has only one middle school, Bueker Middle School. This school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 346 out of 459 schools in 2022-2023 to 370 out of 459 in 2021-2022. With a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Bueker Middle School is ranked 308 out of 451 Missouri middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Bueker Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7% and student performance on standardized tests that is generally below state averages across subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.6% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 69.19% in 2022-2023.
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 for the 2022-2023 school year, the school's performance issues suggest that it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these challenges and identify potential areas for improvement to better serve the students and community of Marshall.
