Summary:
The Joplin Schools district in Missouri has only one high school, Joplin High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a middle-of-the-pack ranking among Missouri high schools over the past few years.
Academically, Joplin High School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, except for Algebra II. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 88.2% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 0.4% is relatively low. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.8%.
Joplin High School serves a student population with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 49.93%, indicating a relatively low-income community. The school's per-student spending of $9,120 is in line with the state average, but it's unclear if this level of funding is adequate to address the school's needs and support student success. Overall, Joplin High School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the state, with some academic and demographic challenges that may require targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
