EDUCATION PROFILES
Knowing Where We Stand
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.
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.
