Stockton Middle

Summary:

Stockton Middle School is a public middle school in Stockton, Missouri, serving 277 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Stockton R-I School District, which is ranked 97 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Stockton Middle School performs on par with or slightly below the state average in subjects like Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, the school has seen a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.8% in 2022-2023 to 21.2% in 2023-2024. This rate is higher than the nearby El Dorado Springs Middle (18.8%) and Humansville Middle School (10.6%). Stockton Middle also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.88% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Stockton Middle School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating a relatively stable academic performance. The school generally outperforms the nearby El Dorado Springs Middle and Humansville Middle School in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate should be a priority for the school and the Stockton R-I School District.

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.
