Middle Schools in Monett R-I

The Monett R-I school district in Missouri is home to a single middle school, Monett Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Despite being the only middle school in the district, Monett Middle School stands out as a relatively strong-performing institution, ranking in the top 30% of Missouri middle schools for the 2022-2023 school year.

Monett Middle School's performance is highlighted by its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its above-average test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts, particularly in the 7th and 8th grades. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are notably higher than the state averages, suggesting an effective approach to teaching this subject. However, the school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate is an area for improvement, falling significantly below the state average.

While Monett Middle School has maintained its 4-star rating, its statewide ranking has declined from 134 to 160 over the past year, potentially due to changes in the performance of other schools in Missouri. Additionally, the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor is an important consideration when analyzing the school's performance and identifying areas for improvement.
