Summary:
The Bismarck R-V High School is the sole high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bismarck R-V school district. With a total enrollment of 270 students, the school is ranked 281 out of 367 Missouri high schools by SchoolDigger and holds a 1-star rating.
While Bismarck R-V High School boasts a strong 94.1% four-year graduation rate, it faces several challenges. The school's test scores are consistently below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 12.6% of 8th-grade students proficient in Mathematics compared to the state average of 32.7%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.1%, which is higher than the state average. Notably, 100% of the students at Bismarck R-V High qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which is lower than the state average, this advantage does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's consistent ranking in the bottom third of Missouri high schools suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic deficiencies of its students. Strategies to improve attendance and engagement may also be crucial in helping Bismarck R-V High provide a high-quality education to the community it serves.
