Clark County Middle

Summary:

Clark County Middle is a public middle school in Kahoka, Missouri, serving 258 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clark County R-I District, which is ranked 229 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are comparable to state averages, Clark County Middle has faced significant challenges. The school has consistently underperformed the state in MAP test scores, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts well below the state average. This academic decline is reflected in the school's dropping statewide ranking, from 302 out of 633 middle schools in 2013-2014 to 314 out of 451 in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly concerning for specific student subgroups, such as White students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools.

Additionally, Clark County Middle has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.8% to 19.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. Addressing these equity challenges and improving student attendance and academic performance will be crucial for the school's future success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
