Summary:

The North St. Francois County R-I school district in Missouri serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces some academic challenges, with students performing below state averages in math and English language arts, but also has some standout schools and positive metrics.

The North County Middle school stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates reaching 92.2% in 2023-2024, far exceeding the district and state averages. Similarly, the Intermediate School has strong mathematics performance, with 54% of 6th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the district average of 44.4%. The district's high school, North County Senior High, also has a positive 90.3% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 1.1% dropout rate.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting a 16.4% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state would likely prefer. Additionally, the schools serve a population with high economic disadvantage, with 38-46% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues, along with the district's underperformance in math and English language arts, should be priorities for the North St. Francois County R-I school district to improve overall student outcomes.
