Delta C-7

The Delta C-7 school district in Missouri operates two schools: Delta C-7 High and Delta C-7 Elementary. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are consistently underperforming compared to state-wide metrics.

The Delta C-7 district is ranked 332 out of 367 school districts in Missouri and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While Delta C-7 High has a slightly above-average four-year graduation rate of 93.3%, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 27.0%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the schools' test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with 8th-grade math proficiency at Delta C-7 High reaching only 11.2%, compared to the state average of 32.7%.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student at both schools, the academic outcomes remain poor. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to evaluate the district's educational strategies. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 58.82% for Delta C-7 High and 63.38% for Delta C-7 Elementary, suggest that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the schools' low performance and may require targeted interventions and support.
