Summary:
The Willow Springs R-IV school district in Missouri has one high school, Willow Springs High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 2-star rating in the previous two years.
Willow Springs High has some areas of strength, such as a high 97.7% four-year graduation rate and above-average proficiency in Biology I. However, the school faces challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's Algebra I proficiency of 34% is below the district and state averages. The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Willow Springs High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which may provide students with more individualized attention and support. The school's performance and characteristics suggest that there is room for improvement, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address areas of concern and help the school achieve more consistent and stronger academic outcomes.
