Best Public Schools in Florissant, MO

Summary:

The city of Florissant, Missouri is home to 29 schools across two school districts - Hazelwood and Ferguson-Florissant R-II. The schools serve students from elementary through high school, with 19 elementary, 5 middle, and 5 high schools. Additionally, there are 2 specialized schools operated by the Special School District of St. Louis County.

Among the standout schools, Lawson Elementary has the highest performance across multiple metrics, including proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts that are significantly above the district and state averages. At the high school level, McCluer North High has the highest proficiency rates, outperforming the district and state in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II. However, the data also reveals stark disparities, with some schools like Hazelwood Central High and McCluer High struggling to meet state averages on assessments.

Across the district, there are concerning trends, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, exceeding 37% in all schools, and very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, with several schools over 90%. The specialized schools operated by the Special School District, Northview and Ackerman, have extremely high per-student spending but some of the lowest academic outcomes in the data set, raising questions about the effectiveness of their programs.
