According to the 2025 Annual Performance Report (APR), released by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), ACES earned an overall score of 91.2%. This achievement places our district in the top 8% of all school districts in the state of Missouri!
The APR provides an in-depth look at how schools and districts perform under the Missouri School Improvement Program 6 (MSIP 6) standards. This system measures not only academic achievement and growth but also continuous improvement efforts, innovation, and student well-being.
MSIP 6 is designed to:
Differentiate district performance along a continuum;
Provide accessible and actionable data for school improvement;
Empower local boards to drive innovation through continuous improvement;
Emphasize both academic status and growth equally; and
Focus on the preparation and well-being of every student.
This remarkable score is a direct reflection of the dedication of our teachers, staff, students, parents, and community. Their collective commitment to excellence continues to make Avenue City a model of educational quality and continuous improvement.
Thank you for your ongoing support and leadership in making Avenue City an exceptional place for learning. Our partnership continues to ensure that ACES students receive an education that prepares them not just for school, but for life.
