Hazelwood

Summary:

The Hazelwood school district in Missouri serves 31 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district faces significant challenges, with wide disparities in academic performance and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism across its schools.

A few schools stand out as performing better than others in the district. Garrett Elementary has the highest performance across multiple metrics, including 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math and ELA proficiency rates that are significantly above the district and state averages. McNair Elementary and Russell Elementary also demonstrate relatively strong academic performance. At the middle school level, East Middle School has the highest 8th grade proficiency rates in math, science, and ELA.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. The 4-year graduation rate across the high schools is 81.4%, below the state average, and the chronic absenteeism rate is extremely high at 38.2%. Proficiency rates on state assessments are generally low, with most schools performing significantly below state averages, especially in math. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45% to over 80%, point to the significant socioeconomic challenges these schools are grappling with.
