Summary:
The Smithville R-II school district in Missouri is home to three elementary schools: Eagle Heights Elementary, Horizon Elementary, and Maple Elementary. Based on the available data, Horizon Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools in Missouri and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Horizon Elementary's test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, significantly exceed the district and state averages across all grade levels. In contrast, Eagle Heights Elementary has more mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages, while others fall below. Maple Elementary also performs well, with strong mathematics and science scores, though not quite at the same level as Horizon Elementary.
The data also reveals some differences in school demographics and spending. Maple Elementary has the highest per-student spending and the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate that the school is serving a more economically disadvantaged population. The chronic absenteeism rate is consistent across all three schools at 14.9%, suggesting that this is an area of concern for the district as a whole.
