ST. LOUIS — The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released its Annual Performance Reports for the 2022-23 school year.
The department said the data showed similar scores to last year's results. The department said the data shows chronic absenteeism is a primary concern for schools across the state.
“It is our hope that schools can use these data — along with local assessments and other key data points — to inform their continuous school improvement plans and to use this unique period of time in education to reimagine how we can best serve students while continuing to focus on the basics such as reading and math,” Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said in a press release. “Statewide, we will continue to focus on improving teacher recruitment and retention, addressing chronic absenteeism, and advancing early learning and literacy efforts.”
