Lafayette County C-1

Summary:

The Lafayette County C-1 school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While Lafayette County High School stands out with a strong 94.7% graduation rate and relatively high performance on end-of-course exams, the district as a whole faces challenges in academic achievement, with most schools performing below state averages on standardized tests.

Grandview Elementary and Lafayette County Middle School have particularly low proficiency rates on MAP tests, ranging from 15.8% to 41% across different grade levels and subjects. These two schools also have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.17% and 47.83% respectively. In contrast, Lafayette County High School has a lower percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients at 39.31% and spends more per student at $14,198, compared to $11,617 for Grandview Elementary and $11,500 for Lafayette County Middle School.

A concerning issue across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. While Lafayette County High School has the highest statewide ranking among the three schools, it is still only ranked 159 out of 367 Missouri high schools, indicating room for improvement. Addressing these challenges, particularly in academic performance and attendance, will be crucial for enhancing educational outcomes for students in the Lafayette County C-1 school district.
