Crane R-III

Summary:

The Crane R-III school district in Missouri operates two schools: Crane Elementary and Crane High. While Crane High boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, both schools face challenges, including below-average test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Crane Elementary is ranked 605 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Crane High is ranked 203 out of 367 Missouri high schools and also has a 2-star rating. Both schools perform below the state average on most MAP test proficiency rates, suggesting a need to evaluate the curriculum and teaching methods to help students improve their academic performance.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Crane Elementary has a free and reduced lunch rate of 61.23%, while Crane High has a rate of 48.72%. The district's high per-student spending and small class sizes suggest a commitment to supporting student learning, but the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into improved outcomes.
