High Schools in Raytown C-2

The Raytown C-2 school district in Missouri is home to two high schools: Raytown Senior High and Raytown South Senior High. Both schools have consistently performed below average on various academic measures, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, over the past few years.

The data shows that neither Raytown Senior High nor Raytown South Senior High are standout performers in the district. Both schools are ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools and have a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Their four-year graduation rates are 76.5%, which is below the state average, and their dropout rates are 5.1%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.7%, significantly above the state average.

The schools' academic struggles are further reflected in their low proficiency rates on End of Course (EOC) assessments, with both schools performing significantly below the state average in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, Algebra II, and Government. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, 65.35% and 68.44% respectively, suggest that the schools serve populations with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to their academic difficulties. Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the lack of academic progress indicates that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the schools' specific needs.
