Summary:
The Rich Hill R-IV school district in Missouri has only one high school, Rich Hill High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the Missouri state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. However, the school's SchoolDigger rating has improved from 1 star to 2 stars out of 5 in recent years, indicating some progress despite the overall academic challenges.
Rich Hill High has a total enrollment of 185 students, with a predominantly White student population (93.51%). The school serves a high-poverty community, with 54.05% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic challenge may contribute to the school's academic struggles, as it likely impacts the resources and support available to students. The school's per-student spending of $10,647 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1 suggest that the school may face difficulties in effectively allocating its resources to address the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population.
Despite the academic performance concerns, the data indicates that Rich Hill High is making some progress in improving its overall school rating. However, the district and school leaders will need to focus on implementing strategies to raise student achievement in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, while also addressing the unique challenges posed by the high poverty levels within the school community.
