Summary:
The Hogan Preparatory Academy district in Missouri consists of three schools: Hogan Preparatory Academy (high school), Hogan Preparatory Academy Elementary, and Hogan Preparatory Academy Middle. Unfortunately, none of these schools appear to be standout performers, as they are all ranked very low within the state, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates of 73.4%, very low test scores compared to state averages, and graduation rates that, while high at the high school, are not enough to overcome the broader academic struggles. Additionally, the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 98.4% to 99.33%.
Despite relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,644 to $16,418, the academic performance of the Hogan Preparatory Academy schools remains consistently low. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the district's challenges, and that addressing the root causes, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, will be crucial in order to improve educational outcomes for the students.
