Summary:
The Kennett 39 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Kennett High, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 506 students. While the school spends slightly more per student than the state average and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is generally below the state average on standardized tests.
Kennett High has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 267th out of 367 Missouri high schools. Its 4-year graduation rate of 92.7% is slightly below the state average, and the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.1%. Student performance on state assessments is well below the state average in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and Algebra II. This low academic performance may be attributed to the school's very high percentage of students (99.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the challenges faced by Kennett High, the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio suggest that resources are available. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted interventions to improve student achievement may be necessary to help the school better serve its students and improve its overall performance.
