Maplewood-Richmond Heights

The Maplewood-Richmond Heights school district in Missouri operates four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district is highly ranked, with all schools receiving 4 or 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating a quality education for students.

The standout schools in the district are Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School, which is ranked 24th out of 367 Missouri high schools and boasts a 97.2% four-year graduation rate, and Mrh Elementary School, which is ranked 120th out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and excels in Mathematics and English Language Arts test scores. The district's high school also performs well on state assessments, exceeding the state averages in several subjects.

While the district's schools demonstrate strong academic performance, there are some areas of concern, such as the consistent 18.4% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools and the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at the high school level. The district's spending per student is higher than the state average, which may contribute to the schools' success, but the district may need to focus on improving attendance and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
