Comparisons to the state averages

  • More Pattonville middle school students scored advanced and proficient than their peers statewide in communication arts and social studies. In addition, fewer Pattonville middle schoolers were scoring in the lowest two levels in these areas when compared to the state results. Although middle school scores in math and science were near state average, Pattonville must continue its efforts to boost the achievement in these areas.

  • Fewer Pattonville High School students scored at the lowest two levels in communication arts than their peers statewide. Although scores in other content areas were near state average, Pattonville must continue its efforts to boost the achievement of its oldest students.
