Summary:
The Louisiana R-II school district in Missouri has only one high school, Louisiana High, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating, ranging from 210th out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 346th out of 378 in 2023-2024, with its SchoolDigger rating varying from 2 stars out of 5 to 0 stars during this period.
Louisiana High's academic performance is a concern, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Algebra I (20%), Algebra II (6.7%), and Biology I (26.1%) compared to the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 76.6% in 2023-2024 is also lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's dropout rate of 2.5% in 2021-2022 is slightly higher than the state average.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges. Louisiana High has a high percentage of students (69.74%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. While the school's per-student spending of $12,652 in 2021-2022 is higher than the state average, it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student outcomes and address the academic struggles the school is facing.
