In our second report in the Missouri student growth series, the Missouri Regional Student Growth Report uses the PRiME Growth Score, a translation of state-calculated growth scores from the Missouri Growth Model, to highlight the top schools in each of the nine Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) supervisory regions. The goal of this report is to make it easier to understand which schools are moving Missouri’s students forward and to applaud the excellent growth that is occurring in schools throughout the state.
This publication ranks the top 10 schools in each region in both English language arts and math in terms of 2019 student growth scores. Our results are divided into two sections according to school type: elementary and a combination of eleMiddle and middle. The sections are intended to group schools based on similarity in grade levels tested to avoid comparing dissimilar schools.
