Summary:
The Bevier C-4 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Bevier High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 73 students. While the school boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 4.3% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 23.6% proficient or better in Biology I.
Bevier High's low test scores, coupled with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5%, suggest that the school may be struggling to provide effective academic instruction and support for its students. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (47.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is often an indicator of economic disadvantage and can be associated with additional challenges in the educational environment.
Despite the apparent investment of resources, as evidenced by the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,474 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, the academic performance of Bevier High remains a concern. Addressing the challenges of chronic absenteeism, improving instructional quality, and tailoring support to the specific needs of the student population may be crucial in driving improvements and better aligning the school's graduation rates with its academic outcomes.
