Below is a summary of the Annual Performance Report for Rolla Public Schools for the 2024-25 school year. We are pleased to report a nearly 4-point increase for this past year, with positive data trends in almost all categories. This information was assembled based on the scoring data received from the Missouri Department of Education. The full data set is linked at the bottom of the summary. Please reach out to us with your questions at communications@rolla31.org. 

• The maximum points scored/awarded for each school varies based on the total student population (i.e., K-8, K-12) and the diversity found in those settings. The MSIP 6 Comprehensive Guide States:
  • “To better differentiate among the needs of LEAs or schools and to ensure broader inclusion of students who have historically performed below the state average, Missouri will continue to report academic achievement for various demographic groups. In addition to overall performance for all students in the state, DESE will report academic achievement data for the following groups: low-income students ( defined as students who are direct-certified (DC) in the National School Lunch Program), students with disabilities (SWD), English learners (EL), and the state’s major racial and ethnic student groups. A review of Missouri data identifies five groups who tend to perform significantly lower than the state average: Black, Hispanic, DC, SWD, and EL students.”
• Rolla is accountable for a maximum of 200 points.
• The Rolla 31 school district earned 159 points out of 200 for an overall score of 79.5%.
• Rolla was ranked 73rd out of 143 comparable school districts eligible for 200 points.

Additional Context

• This report is focused on data from the 2024-2025 school year.
• The report reflects the ongoing impact of the pandemic, including its disproportionate effects on some student groups.
• It separates scoring for achievement status and growth and emphasizes them equally. Once scores reach “Target” designation, it can be difficult to gain growth points.
• It is one among many data points for stakeholders.
• Not all data points are measured each year. This is year 4 of 6 in R31's cycle.
