U.S. News and World Report, long known for ranking colleges and high schools across the U.S., recently released for the first time a list ranking the best elementary and middle schools in Missouri. The School District of Washington was well represented.
According to the U.S. News, the lists were almost entirely rooted in students’ performance on state mathematics and reading/language arts state assessments. The data, which was sourced from the U.S. Department of Education, comes from the 2018-19 school year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A total of 1,321 Missouri elementary schools were included in the list. Augusta Elementary was ranked No. 283 on the list. Washington Middle School was ranked No. 142 out of 856 Missouri middle schools.
