Summary:
The Lockwood R-I school district in Missouri has only one high school, Lockwood High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 97 students. The district is ranked 280 out of 367 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating the district is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Lockwood High's performance is significantly below the state average, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 263 out of 352 high schools in 2022-2023 to 314 out of 378 high schools in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests in Algebra I and Biology I are much lower than the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28.2% of Lockwood High students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 45.4%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Lockwood High maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 92.3%, which is a positive sign. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 35.05% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 suggests the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students, but this does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement. Overall, the data indicates that Lockwood High is a struggling school that needs to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
