High Schools in Steelville R-III

Summary:

The Steelville High is the sole high school located within the Steelville R-III school district in Missouri. Serving grades 9-12, the school has an enrollment of 296 students and is ranked 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Steelville High's standout performance is its strong 95.3% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average. However, the school faces challenges in academic achievement, with test scores generally lower than state averages, particularly in math subjects like Algebra I and Biology I. The school's high percentage of students (54.05%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a population facing significant economic disadvantages, which may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores.

Another area of concern is Steelville High's 19.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average. The school's 12:1 student-teacher ratio is a relatively low ratio and could be a strength, but the overall academic performance indicates a need for additional support and resources to address the needs of the student population.
