Summary:
Northeast Nodaway County R-V is a rural school district in Missouri that serves a single high school, Northeast Nodaway High, which enrolls 94 students in grades 7-12. The data reveals a concerning trend of declining academic performance at the school, with a significant drop in its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Northeast Nodaway High's statewide ranking has fallen from 125th out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 320th out of 378 in 2023-2024, with its rating dropping from 4 stars to just 1 star. This decline is accompanied by low test scores, with only 18.3% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 17.8% in Biology I, compared to state averages of 41.5% and 37.4%, respectively. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.3%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
While Northeast Nodaway High maintains a 100% four-year graduation rate, the data suggests the school faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students. With over 36% of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a community with significant economic challenges. The district's spending of $13,126 per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.3 to 1 indicate the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and achievement.
