Summary:
Gasconade County R-I School District is home to a single high school, Hermann High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school boasts a strong 96.5% four-year graduation rate, it faces some academic challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency.
Gasconade County R-I spends $11,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.5, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, Hermann High School's performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average in Algebra I (15.3% vs. 45.4%) and Algebra II (7.5% vs. 58%), while exceeding the state average in Biology I (44.9% vs. 37.3%).
Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 41.3% of its population receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic factor may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Over the past three years, Hermann High School's statewide ranking has declined from 153 to 192 out of 367 Missouri high schools, indicating a need for continued monitoring and targeted interventions to address the school's areas of concern and improve the overall quality of education.
