High Schools in Sullivan

Sullivan, Missouri is home to a single high school, Sullivan Senior High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school is currently ranked 102 out of 386 Missouri high schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its ranking has been declining over the past few years, going from 103 out of 361 schools in 2021-2022 to 171 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023 and now 197 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024.

Academically, Sullivan Senior High faces some challenges, with test scores in several key subject areas, including Algebra I, Biology I, and English II, falling significantly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.3%, which can negatively impact student achievement. Despite these issues, the school maintains a respectable 90.2% four-year graduation rate and a 2.8% dropout rate.

In terms of resources, Sullivan Senior High spends $10,634 per student, which is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this is translating into improved outcomes for students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1 is also within the typical range. Overall, while Sullivan Senior High has some areas of strength, it appears to be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance and addressing issues like chronic absenteeism, which may require targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
