Middle Schools in Raytown C-2

The Raytown C-2 school district in Missouri is home to three middle schools: Raytown Middle, Raytown Central Middle, and South Middle. While these schools serve students in grades 6-8, the data reveals a concerning trend of consistently low performance across the district.

None of the three middle schools in Raytown C-2 stand out as clear academic leaders. All three schools are ranked in the bottom 20% or 10% of Missouri middle schools, with Raytown Middle and Raytown Central Middle earning 1-star ratings, and South Middle earning a 0-star rating. The test scores for these schools are significantly below the state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts across various grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from just 4.5% to 8.8% in 8th grade mathematics, compared to the state average of 30.6%.

The data also reveals that the Raytown C-2 middle schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.18% to 72.8%. While the per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are relatively similar across the three schools, the lack of differentiation in their performance suggests a need for more targeted interventions and support within the district to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic struggles of these students.
