Summary:
The Orchard Farm R-V school district in Missouri is home to a single middle school, Orchard Farm Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 498 students. This middle school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri middle schools over the past three school years, placing it among the state's top-performing institutions.
Orchard Farm Middle School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th-grade math proficiency rate was 70.4%, compared to the state average of 44.4%. Additionally, the school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate in 2022-2023 was an impressive 97.7%, far exceeding the district and state averages of 41.4% and 41.5%, respectively.
While Orchard Farm Middle School's overall academic performance is exceptional, the data also suggests some potential equity concerns. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% and free/reduced lunch rate of 22.89% indicate that a portion of the student population may be facing challenges that could impact their academic achievement. However, the school's spending per student of $11,981 in 2021-2022 suggests the district is allocating significant resources to support the school's operations and educational programs.
