Columbia 93

The Columbia 93 school district in Missouri encompasses 33 schools, including 21 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and exhibits a wide range of academic performance across its schools.

Some of the standout schools in the district include Rock Bridge Senior High, ranked 55th out of 378 Missouri high schools with a 4-star rating, and John Warner Middle School, ranked 10th out of 451 Missouri middle schools with a 5-star rating. These schools demonstrate exceptional performance in core subject areas. In contrast, other schools, such as Muriel Battle High School and Oakland Middle School, struggle with lower proficiency rates on state assessments.

The district's high schools have a 89.9% four-year graduation rate, on par with the state average, but the district as a whole faces challenges with a 24.3% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average. The data also reveals a strong correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and its academic performance, suggesting the need for the district to address equity and resource allocation across all schools.
