Summary:
The city of Aurora, Missouri is home to 4 schools serving students from early childhood through high school, all part of the Aurora R-VIII district. While the district's schools face some challenges, the data reveals both areas of concern and potential opportunities for improvement.
Aurora High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.9%, but its test scores are significantly below the state average, with only 19.5% of students proficient or better in Algebra I. In contrast, Robinson School performs better than the district and state averages in several subject areas, such as 4th grade mathematics and English Language Arts, though its 5th grade science proficiency rate is low.
Across the district, the schools face high rates of chronic absenteeism and free and reduced lunch recipients, which may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance. However, the data also suggests potential areas for improvement, such as the relatively strong performance of Robinson School in certain subject areas. With targeted interventions and support, the schools in the Aurora R-VIII district may be able to address these challenges and better serve the needs of their students.
