Bloomfield R-xiv, MO - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Bloomfield R-xiv

Bloomfield R-XIV is a small public school district in Stoddard County, Missouri, serving students from prekindergarten through twelfth grade. The district operates four schools: an elementary school, a middle school, a high school, and a separate facility for the juvenile center. The student body is predominantly white, with small populations of students who are Hispanic, Black, or identify as two or more races. The district's enrollment is spread fairly evenly across the grades, giving it a steady K-12 pipeline.

This is a district where state testing results present a mixed picture, and a parent will want to look closely at how the numbers break down by grade and subject. On the 2024-25 Missouri Assessment Program tests, math proficiency rates for the district's students ranged from roughly a third of students meeting the bar in fourth grade to half of students doing so in sixth grade. In English language arts, the pattern was more uneven: third graders posted a proficiency rate near the upper end of the district's range, while seventh graders had a notably lower result, with only a small share of students scoring at the proficient level. Science results were available only for fifth grade, showing a respectable rate. Some grade-level results were suppressed for privacy reasons, which is common when group sizes are small, so a comprehensive view of every tested grade and subject is not possible from this data alone.

Against other districts in Stoddard County, Bloomfield R-XIV's overall proficiency index lands in the bottom quartile. Per-pupil spending falls in the lower range among the county's six districts. The district's chronic absenteeism rate sits below the midpoint of the county, suggesting that attendance is a relative strength compared to some neighboring systems.

The housing market in the area reflects a rural, affordable context. Home values in the district's contributing ZIP codes are well below the national median, and the weighted district-wide estimate has been flat to slightly declining. This is not a market where home prices are rising quickly. The broader economic picture shows a national unemployment rate that has been stable, and mortgage rates have been holding above 6 percent, which is relevant for any family weighing a move.

A notable gap in the available information is the lack of detail on programs. There is no data on Advanced Placement, dual credit, career and technical education offerings, or other academic pathways. A parent interested in what the high school offers beyond the core curriculum will want to ask the school directly. Similarly, no information was found about the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, students with disabilities, or English learners, so the level of economic and learning support need in the district is not evident from this profile.

The district brief, based on a review of publicly reported sources, found little in the way of recent parent-relevant changes such as curriculum shifts, property-tax adjustments, or referenda. That absence suggests a stable administrative environment, but it also means there is no public documentation of new initiatives or improvements to point to.

For a family deciding where to live, the key takeaway is that Bloomfield R-XIV is a small, predominantly white district in an affordable rural housing market, with academic performance that is below the county average on state assessments. The district has not been the site of recent well-publicized changes. A parent who values a small-town setting and is comfortable with the academic profile should visit the schools and ask about programming for college and career preparation, which is not captured in this data.
