Summary:
The Atlanta C-3 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Atlanta High School, which serves grades 9-12. The data analysis reveals that Atlanta High School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Atlanta High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is below the state average, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Algebra I, and Biology I. Notably, the school's performance in Algebra I and Biology I has declined from the 2022-2023 school year to the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's high four-year graduation rate of 100%, it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1%, which could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges.
The data also shows that 38.14% of students at Atlanta High School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. While the school spends $13,349 per student, which is above the state average, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, the academic performance remains below the state average, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
