Summary:
The Diamond R-IV school district in Missouri has only one high school, Diamond High, which serves grades 9-12. The data shows that Diamond High has been struggling academically, with declining performance on state assessments and a below-average graduation rate compared to the state.
Diamond High has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and ranks 298 out of 378 Missouri high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate is 89.2%, slightly below the state average. Academically, only 17% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I, and 23.2% were proficient or better in Biology I, both significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance in these core subjects has declined over the past two years.
The data also reveals that Diamond High serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 47.18% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain a concern. Addressing attendance issues, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, may be a key focus area for the school and district to improve student engagement and learning.
