High Schools in Houston R-I

Summary:

The Houston R-I school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Houston High, which serves grades 9-12. Despite serving a population with significant economic challenges, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Houston High has consistently ranked in the top half of Missouri high schools in recent years, reaching a peak ranking of 108 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024.

Houston High maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating above-average performance, and boasts an impressive 95.2% 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, well above the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is somewhat mixed compared to state averages, with above-state-average performance in Biology I and English II, but below-average performance in Algebra I and Government.

While Houston High has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16% in 2023-2024, which could be an area for improvement, the school's overall performance and consistent ranking within the top half of Missouri high schools suggest it is a solid-performing institution within the Houston R-I district. Continued focus on improving proficiency rates, especially in subjects like Algebra I and Government, as well as addressing chronic absenteeism, could help the school further enhance its performance and better serve its student population.
