Slater

The Slater school district in Missouri consists of two schools - Alexander Elementary and Slater High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and attendance.

The data shows that Alexander Elementary has significantly lower proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas compared to the state average. Slater High School also lags behind state averages on Algebra I and Biology I end-of-course exams. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 14%, and Slater High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 80.7%, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, both schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community.

Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the Slater school district appears to be struggling to improve student outcomes over time. The statewide school digger rank history shows that both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri schools, with little to no improvement. This suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the district's strategies and implementation to address the persistent challenges and provide a high-quality education for the Slater community.
