What this means: On the MAP, Missouri's statewide test, about 29 of every 100 students at this school read and write at grade level and about 15 of 100 do math at grade level. Across all Missouri schools, those numbers are about 45 and 44. Reading and writing scores are down about 7 points since 2021, while math scores are down about 18 points.

What this means: About 25% of students here test proficient in math and reading, below the roughly 42% typical for Missouri schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations compares each school with others at the same poverty level, not by raw scores, so a school lands here when its results trail those comparable schools, which is not the same as having low scores. A higher-scoring school can still fall in this tier if similar schools score higher still.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →
