North Callaway Middle School's performance is generally below state averages across key metrics. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9%, which is higher than the state average. Its test scores in subjects like math and science also lag behind state benchmarks, with 7th-grade math proficiency at 19.9% compared to the state average of 40.6%, and 8th-grade science proficiency at 27.1% versus the state average of 35.7%. Additionally, nearly half (49.15%) of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.9 is lower than the state average, its overall performance has been declining in recent years, dropping from 339 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2021-2022 to 286 out of 451 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with its peers, and there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in the areas of academic achievement and attendance.
