Summary:
The Sweet Springs R-Vii school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Sweet Springs High, which serves grades 7-12. Despite its small size of 192 students, Sweet Springs High has demonstrated several standout elements, including a 100% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on state assessments in subjects like 7th grade Math and ELA, as well as Algebra I.
While Sweet Springs High has historically been a high-performing school, ranking 129th out of 460 high schools in Missouri in 2018-2019, its statewide ranking has since declined to 196th out of 378 in the 2023-2024 school year. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the drop. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.42%) suggests the need to closely examine issues of equity and access to resources for economically disadvantaged students.
Overall, Sweet Springs R-Vii is home to a small but strong-performing high school in Sweet Springs High, which has demonstrated excellence in areas like graduation rates and student performance on state assessments. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and potential equity concerns are important factors to consider as the district works to support the success of all its students.
