Wright City Middle has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, going from 208 out of 459 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 252 out of 459 in 2021-2022, and then improving to 220 out of 451 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's test scores show strengths in 8th-grade mathematics but weaknesses in 6th-grade English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0% and a high percentage of students (49.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Wright City Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which may contribute to more personalized instruction and support for students. The school district also spends $12,176 per student, which is above the state average. Addressing the root causes of the school's inconsistent performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors could be crucial for improving overall student outcomes and providing a high-quality education for the community.
