Summary:
The Midway R-I school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Midway High. While the school boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, its overall academic performance is relatively average compared to the state of Missouri.
Midway High's strengths include a higher-than-average proficiency rate in 7th grade Math (48.5% vs. 40.6% state average) and Algebra I (51% vs. 41.5% state average). However, the school struggles in 7th grade English Language Arts (20% proficiency vs. 37.8% state average) and Biology I (15.3% proficiency vs. 37.4% state average). The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1% is also higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,012) and low student-teacher ratio (12:1), the academic outcomes do not fully reflect this investment. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with a 31.07% free and reduced lunch rate, which may present additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. Overall, Midway High appears to be a school with room for improvement, but its strong graduation rate and pockets of academic success suggest potential for growth.
