MIDWAY R-I

Located at 5801 East State Route 2 in Cleveland, Missouri, the Midway R-I School District serves as an essential educational anchor for its local community. Set in a distant rural environment within the broader Kansas City metropolitan region, this open, traditional public school district operates two schools that collectively deliver a continuous academic pathway from kindergarten through 12th grade. Free from charter or supervisory union structures, Midway R-I provides a cohesive K–12 public education experience focused on serving rural families with traditional, community-centered values and accessible learning facilities.

The district currently educates a focused student body of 428 pupils—comprising 232 young men and 196 young women—spanning balanced class sizes from elementary cohorts to graduating high school seniors. To support learning and growth, Midway R-I maintains a robust workforce consisting of approximately 126 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes more than 82 dedicated full-time equivalent teachers, backed by over 12 instructional aides and nearly 31 support staff personnel. This strong ratio of educators and support staff allows the district to foster an engaging, personalized environment tailored to meeting the academic, developmental, and social needs of every student.
