Summary:
The Pilot Grove C-4 school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Pilot Grove High and Pilot Grove Elementary. The district is ranked 131 out of 367 districts in the state, with both schools receiving a 3-star rating.
Pilot Grove High is the standout school in the district, with consistently high performance on state assessments, a 96.1% four-year graduation rate, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.7. In contrast, Pilot Grove Elementary appears to be underperforming, with only 17.8% of third-graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 41.4%, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The significant difference in free and reduced-price lunch rates between the high school (16.28%) and the elementary school (38.82%) may indicate socioeconomic challenges at the elementary level that could be impacting academic performance. Additionally, the high per-student spending at the elementary school ($17,946) compared to the high school ($14,194) is noteworthy and suggests the district may want to examine how resources are being allocated across the two schools.
