Summary:
The Purdy R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Purdy High. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 223 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 296 out of 378 in 2023-2024, its graduation rates remain relatively high at 89.4% in 2023-2024.
Academically, Purdy High's student proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), are consistently below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 9.4% in 8th grade Math to 31.8% in 7th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 30.6% and 40.6%, respectively. This academic underperformance suggests that the school may face challenges in providing quality education and supporting student achievement.
Additionally, Purdy High serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.52% in 2022-2023. This socioeconomic factor may play a role in the school's performance and resource allocation, as the per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $11,825. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.3 for the 2022-2023 school year is also a relevant metric to consider in understanding the school's resources and support for student learning.
