Summary:
The South Callaway Middle is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the South Callaway County R-II district, located in Missouri. Despite a recent decline in its statewide ranking, this school remains a strong performer, ranking in the top 35% of Missouri middle schools for the past three years and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
South Callaway Middle's academic performance is generally above the state average, with students exceeding proficiency levels in English Language Arts across all grades and in 8th grade Science. However, the school's math proficiency rates are inconsistent, with 7th graders performing above the state average but 8th graders falling significantly below. The school also faces moderate economic challenges, with over a third of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these factors, South Callaway Middle maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, which may contribute to its overall academic success.
While South Callaway Middle has shown strong performance in recent years, the school's declining statewide ranking is an area that warrants further investigation. Addressing the inconsistencies in math instruction and supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be key priorities for the school and district moving forward. Overall, South Callaway Middle appears to be a high-quality middle school option for families in the South Callaway County R-II area.
