Summary:
The Steelville R-III school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Steelville Elementary, Steelville High, and Steelville Middle. While Steelville High stands out with a 95.3% 4-year graduation rate and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the district faces challenges, including declining performance at Steelville Elementary and inconsistent results at Steelville High.
The district's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1% is higher than the state average, and Steelville Elementary and Steelville Middle generally perform below the state average in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Additionally, Steelville High has particularly low proficiency rates in Algebra I, with only 8.6% of students scoring proficient or better compared to the state average of 41.5%.
The high free and reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 48.8% to 63.77%, suggest that the Steelville R-III district may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance. The district should prioritize addressing these areas, such as strengthening the math curriculum and improving student attendance, to enhance the overall quality of education for its students.
