Summary:
The Twin Rivers R-X school district in Missouri has only one high school, Twin Rivers High, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite the school's high graduation rates, it consistently ranks in the bottom third of Missouri high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Twin Rivers High struggles with low academic proficiency, with significantly lower scores on state assessments compared to the state averages. For example, in Algebra I, the school's proficiency rate was just 8.8% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 45.4%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and per-student spending of $10,897, suggesting that resources may not be effectively utilized to address the specific needs of the student population.
The data indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 49.39% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may require additional resources and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and prepare them for college and career readiness, despite the high graduation rates.
