Summary:
The Crocker R-II school district in Missouri has only one high school, Crocker High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data reveals that Crocker High is a struggling school, with consistently low academic performance, a declining ranking among Missouri high schools, and potential socioeconomic challenges.
Crocker High has an enrollment of 299 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (90.3%) and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students (39.46% receive free or reduced-price lunch). Academically, the school's performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 6th grade Mathematics, only 3.1% of Crocker High students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.7%.
Despite the school's low academic performance, Crocker High spends slightly more per student and has a relatively small class size compared to the state average. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning. The school's ranking among Missouri high schools has steadily declined over the past three years, from 310 out of 361 schools in 2021-2022 to 278 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023, indicating that it is falling behind its peers in terms of academic achievement.
