Drexel R-IV

The Drexel R-IV school district in Missouri operates two schools: Drexel Elementary and Drexel High. Both schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like test scores, indicating a need for improvement in the district's educational outcomes.

Drexel Elementary has particularly low proficiency rates in Math (14.3%), Science (23.8%), and English Language Arts (14.2%), compared to state averages of 39.1%, 40.9%, and 44.1%, respectively. Drexel High also struggles, with a Science proficiency rate of only 14.3% compared to the state average of 37.8%. Both schools serve a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates of 42.94% at the elementary school and 35.83% at the high school.

Despite higher-than-average spending per student and relatively small class sizes, the Drexel R-IV school district has seen a decline in its statewide rankings over the past few years, suggesting that the additional resources are not translating into improved academic performance. The district may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges and provide a higher-quality education for its students.
