Billings Senior High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Billings Senior High is a public high school located in Billings, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 149 students. The school is part of the Billings R-IV school district, which is ranked 183 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Billings Senior High has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15% to 23.8% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools like Republic High and Nixa High. Billings Senior High's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, with only 23.9% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, compared to the state average of 43.2%.

Billings Senior High has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.36% to 40.8% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools like Nixa High (21.84%) and Republic High (33.07%). The school's statewide ranking has generally declined over the years, suggesting that it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other Missouri high schools. While Billings Senior High has some strengths, such as its high graduation rates, it faces challenges in areas like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and overall performance compared to nearby schools, and may need to closely examine its practices and strategies to address these concerns.
