Summary:
The Dixon R-I school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Dixon High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data reveals that Dixon High has consistently struggled to provide a high-quality education, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri high schools and earning a performance rating of 1 to 2 stars out of 5.
Academically, Dixon High lags behind state averages in core subjects like Algebra and Biology, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.5% to 27.4% compared to state averages of 41.5% to 57.5%. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.8% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.6% is significantly higher than the state average. These challenges may be exacerbated by the fact that 32.61% of Dixon High students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Dixon High has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 compared to the state average, the school's overall performance and metrics suggest that it faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors will be crucial for Dixon High to improve its standing and better serve the needs of the local community.
