EDUCATION PROFILES
Our education profiles coalesce and analyze district, state and national data to create useful reviews of Missouri schools. Our Missouri Education Profiles highlight relevant figures and trends at the state level, while comparing our numbers to those of our neighboring states and the nation. We also produce area-specific profiles documenting important education statistics and issues specific to Saint Louis and Kansas City.
OUR 2024 MISSOURI EDUCATION PROFILE IS HERE.
HIGHLIGHTS
The PRiME Center is excited to present the 2024 Missouri Education Profile. This year’s profile provides a look into the state of schools, teachers, students, growth and achievement, education finance, and voter opinions.
Some important new trends include information on:
Student Attendance
Homeschool Participation in Missouri
Four-day School Weeks
High School Start Times
Some trends we continue to follow include:
Teacher Pay
Achievement Gaps
Standardized Test Scores
School Enrollment
This report also includes insights into the most recent SLU/YouGov poll results, providing insight into voter opinions on perceptions of public schools, open enrollment policies, and education savings accounts.
We enjoyed creating this summary of the state of Missouri education, and hope you find this a useful tool.
PREVIOUS YEARS’ PROFILES
At PRiME, we are committed to providing information on all students: public, private, charter, and homeschooled. PRiME has chosen to take a deeper look into schools focusing exclusively on serving students receiving special education services. In PRiME’s first Special Education Profile, we take a closer look at three state schools (MO School for the Blind, MO School for the Deaf, and MO Schools for the Severely Disabled) and two special school districts (one in St. Louis County and one in Pemiscot County). We will also cover Special Education Cooperatives, where multiple districts work together to serve students with special education needs. In this report, we hope to provide detailed information about these schools and to shine a spotlight on the work they do for students throughout the state.
