MAP proficiency rates

The Missouri Assessment Program is the standardized testing program the state uses to assess student progress in public schools. The proficiency rate listed is the percentage of students who, on a given subject, score at a level that is considered proficient or advanced. In some instances, schools might not take science and social studies exams.

Note: Asterisks (*) indicate data involving fewer than 5 students that DESE has suppressed to protect their privacy.

No social studies scores were reported this year. See the about page for more information.

Annual Performance Scores

The state assigns Annual Performance Report scores to each school based on a wide range of metrics including results from state standardized tests, student growth, attendance, graduation rates and whether students leave high school ready for college or careers. Unlike districts, individual schools do not receive an accreditation designation, but they do still receive scores. Scores above 70 are considered to be in the fully accredited range. A score between 50-69.9 falls in the provisionally accredited range, and scores below 49.9 fall the unaccredited range.

Editor's note: The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education did not calculate APR scores for any schools in 2018 and 2019. Many high schools and middle schools also did not receive APR scores in 2017. See the about page for an explanation.
