Hickman Mills School District shows strong academic improvement

The Hickman Mills C-1 School District showed great progress last school year in their effort to become fully accredited.

In 2013, the district scored 72.5 points out of 140 for a 51.8% rating which was slightly above the level needed for provisional accreditation.

In 2014, that number jumped to 99 out of 140 for a 70.7% rating. The progress has earned the district a full accreditation in Missouri.

The announcement was made at the all-district convocation on Aug. 19.

Congratulations to our partners at the Hickman Mills School District for their hard work and remarkable success!
