Summary:
The Niangua R-V school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Niangua High, which serves 80 students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 1-star rating in the most recent school year, it continues to face significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student demographics.
Niangua High's standardized test scores are well below the state average, with only 30% of students proficient or better in MAP/Algebra I and just 6.2% proficient or better in MAP/Biology I, compared to state averages of 41.5% and 38.5%, respectively. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which can present additional obstacles to academic success. The school's lack of diversity, with a 100% White student population, may also limit the range of perspectives and experiences available to students.
Overall, the data suggests that Niangua High is a struggling school that is underperforming academically and facing significant challenges, such as high poverty rates and a lack of diversity. The school's declining statewide ranking and poor performance on standardized tests are particularly concerning and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
