Summary:
The South Harrison County R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, South Harrison Elementary. While the district is ranked 105 out of 386 in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the elementary school itself has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 354 out of 901 schools in 2020-2021 to 592 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024.
South Harrison Elementary has several areas of concern, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts are below the state averages, particularly in 3rd grade. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with nearly 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student of $11,049, the school's academic performance appears to be lagging. This suggests that the school may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and reverse the declining trend in its statewide ranking.
