Assessment Results

This month, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released information and data about school districts across the state to provide patrons a snapshot into their strengths, as well as areas that could be improved. Specifically, this includes results from the 2022 MAP test.

As these results will show, because of the commitment of our employees and our families to academic excellence, Republic continues to rank among the top school districts in the state!

The graphics below will summarize our MAP celebrations and opportunities for improvement at the elementary and secondary level. As an organization dedicated to continuous improvement, we are always looking for ways to get better and do better. This is no different. However, we’d like to take time to share that we are incredibly #RepMOProud of these results, our team and our students!

Our district "report card" will be finalized in the spring when the state’s Annual Performance Report is released. We will share more information regarding those results when they’re ready! 

To see the data available now, go to https://apps.dese.mo.gov/MCDS/Visualizations.aspx?id=29, select “Republic R-III” from the dropdown menu, then select "Student Outcomes."
