High Schools in Cape Girardeau 63

The Cape Girardeau 63 school district in Missouri contains a single high school, Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, is average compared to other Missouri high schools, with some areas of strength and others that struggle.

Central High School's 4-year graduation rate is 88.3%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.9% is slightly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on End of Course (EOC) exams are mixed, with strong performance in Algebra II but lower proficiency in subjects like Algebra I and Biology I. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is also higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern.

While the school's relatively low percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients and higher per-student spending suggest it may serve a more affluent student population, the data does not provide enough context to fully understand the school's strengths, challenges, and how it compares to other high schools in the region or state. Overall, Central High School appears to be an average-performing high school within the Cape Girardeau 63 district.
