High Schools in Confluence Academies

Summary:

The Confluence Academies district in Missouri operates two high schools: Grand Center Arts Academy High and Confluence Preparatory Academy. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population and are struggling academically, with low proficiency rates on standardized assessments and high chronic absenteeism.

Neither school stands out as a high performer, with both ranked in the bottom 20% of Missouri high schools. Grand Center Arts Academy High is ranked 279th out of 367 schools and has a 1-star rating, while Confluence Preparatory Academy is ranked 361st and has a 0-star rating. Both schools have a 4-year graduation rate of 88.6% and a dropout rate of 5.5%, which are concerning metrics. Additionally, the schools' academic performance is significantly below the state average in core subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and English II.

Despite the higher spending per student at Confluence Preparatory Academy compared to Grand Center Arts Academy High, the academic outcomes do not reflect this difference in funding. Both schools serve a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty community. The high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 43.9% for both schools, suggest that addressing non-academic barriers to learning may be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the Confluence Academies district.
