Summary:
The Louisiana R-II school district in Missouri has only one high school, Louisiana High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data shows that Louisiana High has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking and rating declining and its academic performance lagging behind state and district averages.
Louisiana High's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 76.6%, and its dropout rate for 2021-2022 was 2.5%. However, the school's proficiency rates on the MAP/End of Course exams were significantly lower than the state and district averages, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I and Algebra II. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide its students with the necessary academic support and resources to achieve proficiency.
Additionally, over 60% of Louisiana High's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of poverty among the student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for targeted interventions and support. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,652 in 2021-2022 also raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement.
