Lamar R-I

Summary:

The Lamar R-I school district in Missouri consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a relatively disadvantaged student population, with high free and reduced lunch rates across the schools.

Among the schools, Lamar Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 213 out of 451 Missouri middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics for grades 6-8. In contrast, Lamar High School struggles with test scores, with only 22.2% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 18% in Biology I, and 17.7% in Algebra II, well below the district and state averages.

The district's spending per student varies, with Lamar High School spending the most at $12,776 per student and East Elementary spending the least at $9,450 per student. The alternative school, Lockwood Specl. Educ. Coop., stands out with a much lower free and reduced lunch rate of 12%, suggesting it may serve a different student population or have different funding sources.
