Eureka Senior High has consistently ranked among the top high schools in Missouri, ranking as high as 8th out of 404 schools in the 2016-2017 school year, and has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. The school's four-year graduation rates are consistently high, ranging from 95.4% to 97.1% in recent years, significantly above the state average, and its dropout rates are very low, ranging from 0.6% to 1.0% in recent years, well below the state average. Eureka Senior High students consistently outperform the state and district averages in End-of-Course (EOC) assessments across various subjects, including Algebra I, Biology I, English II, Algebra II, and Government, with particularly strong proficiency rates in English II (63.8% proficient or better) and Algebra II (63.6% proficient or better) in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to other high schools in the Rockwood R-VI district, Eureka Senior High generally performs at a similar or slightly higher level, with the exception of Marquette Senior High, which outperforms Eureka in some areas, such as Algebra II proficiency. However, Eureka Senior High significantly outperforms the nearby Northwest High School, which is in a different district and has lower overall performance. The school's performance with specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, is more variable compared to its overall strong performance, and it has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, from 17.2% in 2023-2024 to 22.3% in 2021-2022, which is an area the school may need to address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
