Understanding the 10/10 Rating

We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Missouri is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.

Treat this rating as a rough signal rather than a precise ranking, and look at the school-level detail below before drawing conclusions.
