High Schools in Lewis County C-1

Summary:

The Lewis County C-1 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Highland Junior-Senior High, which serves grades 7-12 and has an enrollment of 387 students.

Highland Junior-Senior High has a strong 93.8% four-year graduation rate, but also faces some challenges, including a higher-than-average 19.8% chronic absenteeism rate and consistently below-average test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) across subjects and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 151 out of 378 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024 to 295 out of 367 in 2024-2025. Additionally, a relatively high 41.34% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Highland Junior-Senior High has a relatively low 12:1 student-teacher ratio, which could be a positive factor. To improve performance, the school may need to focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, enhancing academic support and instruction to boost test scores, and exploring strategies to better support economically disadvantaged students.
