Columbia 93

The Columbia 93 school district in Missouri serves over 18,000 students across 34 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district has a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with significant disparities in student outcomes.

Some of the standout schools in the district include John Warner Middle School, which is ranked 12th out of 438 Missouri middle schools and has exceptional test scores, and Fairview Elementary, which is ranked 51st out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and also has very high proficiency rates. On the other hand, schools like Eliot Battle Elementary struggle with much lower proficiency rates compared to the top-performing schools in the district.

The district's high schools have a 89.9% four-year graduation rate, which is on par with the state average, but the dropout rate of 3.3% is slightly lower than the state average. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 24.3% is a concern and may be contributing to the performance challenges at some schools. Overall, the data suggests that the Columbia 93 school district has room for improvement in addressing the underlying factors that contribute to the significant disparities in student outcomes across its schools.
