Funding

How Missouri funds schools

Missouri distributes state aid through the Foundation Formula, which multiplies each district’s weighted average daily attendance by a State Adequacy Target (the per-pupil amount a performing district spends), then adjusts for the local dollar-value modifier and subtracts local revenue. Weights for free-and-reduced-lunch, special-education and English-learner students above threshold shares raise the count, directing more aid to higher-need districts.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Festus R-Vi School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Missouri measures districts through the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP 6), whose Annual Performance Report (APR) scores academic achievement, growth, graduation, college-and-career readiness and attendance. Look up Festus R-Vi School District on the MSIP / APR pages.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Missouri assigns its own state accreditation status — accredited, provisionally accredited or unaccredited — based on the MSIP performance standards, separate from any voluntary Cognia accreditation a district may also hold. See the Missouri DESE for a district’s current status.
