Summary:
The North Andrew County R-VI school district in Missouri has only one high school, North Andrew High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 91 students. While the school maintains an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 109th out of 460 schools in 2018-2019 to 283rd out of 367 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting potential performance challenges.
North Andrew High's proficiency rates on the MAP/Biology I and MAP/English II End of Course exams are lower than the state average, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.1% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending of $15,956 per student is lower than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. However, the school's small size of 91 students may also present unique opportunities for personalized attention and targeted interventions.
Overall, while North Andrew High maintains a strong graduation rate, the school's declining statewide ranking, lower-than-average test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism rate suggest areas for improvement. The district and school leadership may benefit from further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's performance and strategies for addressing the identified challenges to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
