Summary:
The city of Adrian, Missouri is home to two schools - Adrian Senior High and Adrian Elementary, both part of the Adrian R-III School District. While Adrian Senior High has a relatively high graduation rate of 94.9% and a low dropout rate of 2.5%, its test scores are generally below the state average, with only 36.3% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math and 26.8% of 7th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. Adrian Elementary, on the other hand, performs above the state average in 3rd grade Math and ELA, but its performance drops off in the higher grades.
Both schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 9.6% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is on the higher side. The district as a whole is ranked 268 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that systemic factors may be influencing the schools' outcomes. Interestingly, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios for both schools are relatively similar, indicating that these factors may not be the primary drivers of the observed performance differences.
Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in Adrian, Missouri. While Adrian Senior High has some positive metrics, both schools face challenges in maintaining strong academic performance, particularly in the upper grades and across certain subject areas. The district-level performance also suggests that systemic factors may be impacting the schools' outcomes, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates could be an area of focus for improvement.
