Summary:
Crawford County R-I School District in Missouri has only one high school, Bourbon High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data reveals that while the school has a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, it faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly on standardized tests.
Bourbon High School's proficiency rates on the MAP/End of Course exams for Algebra I and Biology I were significantly lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates around 30 percentage points below the Missouri average. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate, which can contribute to lower academic achievement. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 could be an asset, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
Despite these academic challenges, Bourbon High School has a 91.3% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive indicator. The school also has a 2.8% dropout rate, which is lower than the state average. These metrics suggest that the school is effective in supporting students to complete their high school education, even if academic proficiency is lagging. Addressing the factors contributing to the low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of the school's 42.49% economically disadvantaged student population could be important areas of focus for the school and district.
