Summary:
The city of Adrian, Missouri is home to a single high school, Adrian Senior High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school maintains a strong 94.9% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance as measured by standardized test scores lags behind state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Adrian Senior High's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are consistently below state benchmarks, with proficiency rates ranging from 17.3% in 8th grade math to 36.3% in 6th grade math, compared to state averages of 32.7% and 45.5% respectively. The school's 7th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 26.8% also falls short of the 39.4% state average. These lower test scores suggest potential academic challenges that the Adrian R-III district may need to address.
Despite the academic performance concerns, Adrian Senior High maintains a relatively low 2.5% dropout rate and a favorable 13.9 student-teacher ratio, indicating that the school is able to support students in completing their high school education. However, the school's 9.6% chronic absenteeism rate is somewhat elevated compared to the ideal target of 5% or less, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, while Adrian Senior High has some positive metrics, the consistently below-average test scores present an opportunity for the school to focus on enhancing academic outcomes for its students.
