Summary:
The Ferguson-Florissant R-II school district in Missouri operates four high schools: McCluer High, McCluer North High, Steam Academy at MSB High School, and The Innovation School at CV. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are located within the Ferguson-Florissant area.
Based on the data, Steam Academy at MSB High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district. It consistently ranks among the top 50-80 high schools in Missouri, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in subjects like English II, Algebra II, and Biology I. In contrast, The Innovation School at CV and McCluer High struggle, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Missouri high schools with much lower test scores.
The district as a whole faces challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and a predominantly low-income student population, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all four high schools. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios suggests that resources may not be evenly distributed, which could contribute to the disparities in academic performance. Overall, the Ferguson-Florissant R-II school district has significant room for improvement, and the success of Steam Academy at MSB High School could provide valuable insights for the district to address its broader challenges.
