Summary

Adrian Senior High is a public high school serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 406 students in Adrian, Missouri, which is part of the Adrian R-III school district. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Algebra I, and English Language Arts falling short of nearby schools like Midway High, Harrisonville High, and Archie High School.

Despite maintaining a relatively high four-year graduation rate, Adrian Senior High has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.9% in 2021-2022 to 15.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of some nearby schools. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Adrian Senior High has increased from 13.25% in 2021-2022 to 23.4% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

The school's spending per student has decreased from $10,125 in 2018-2019 to $9,204 in 2021-2022, which is lower than the spending per student at some nearby schools, such as Midway High ($14,012) and Ballard High ($16,862). The school and the Adrian R-III school district should prioritize addressing these issues through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with nearby high-performing schools to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
