Summary:
The Louisiana R-II school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district is located in a relatively high-need area, with a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, Louisiana Elementary School has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking and has stronger-than-average math proficiency rates for 4th and 5th grade students. Louisiana Middle School also performs well, with 6th grade math proficiency on par with the state average and 7th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency above the district and state averages.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with overall academic performance on state assessments generally below the state averages, particularly in high school subjects. Additionally, all three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, and Louisiana High School has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 76.6%. These attendance and graduation issues suggest the need for targeted interventions and a more comprehensive approach to improving student outcomes across the district.
