Summary:
The Carthage R-Ix school district in Missouri has one high school, Carthage High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 1,610 students.
Carthage High School has a strong 91.8% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average, and a low 0.9% dropout rate. However, the school's performance on standardized tests, such as the MAP assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and years. For example, in 2023-2024, Carthage High School's proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and Government were all below the district and state averages.
The school has a relatively high percentage of students, 59.94%, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school spends $11,416 per student, slightly higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the district is investing resources into the school, but the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the higher level of investment.
