Summary:
The Pleasant Hope R-VI school district in Missouri has only one high school, Pleasant Hope High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data shows that this school is consistently underperforming, with low statewide rankings, poor SchoolDigger ratings, and significantly below-average academic achievement in key subjects like Algebra I and Biology I.
Pleasant Hope High has a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 3.9%, which is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with 22.4% of students missing a significant amount of school. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology I are less than half the state averages, indicating that many students are not meeting grade-level standards in these core subjects.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as 59.34% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population. The school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, but the student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is only slightly lower than the state average, indicating that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to support struggling students and improve overall academic performance.
