High Schools in Cole County R-I

The Cole County R-I school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Russellville High. While the school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate, its overall performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 298 out of 361 high schools in 2021-2022 to 252 out of 378 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same time period.

Russellville High's test scores in various subjects and grade levels are generally below the state averages, with particularly low performance in mathematics and English language arts. The school also faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3%. Despite these performance issues, the school's spending per student of $10,633 is relatively high compared to the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential need for a closer examination of the school's spending priorities.

Overall, the data suggests that Russellville High is not a standout school in Missouri and may be facing challenges in terms of academic achievement, student attendance, and overall performance compared to other high schools in the state. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and potential strategies for improvement would be warranted to ensure that students in the Cole County R-I school district receive a high-quality education.
