Summary

Bismarck R-V High is a public high school serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 270 students in Bismarck, Missouri. The school is part of the Bismarck R-V School District, which is ranked 281 out of 367 school districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bismarck R-V High consistently performs below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in Math (12.6%), Science (28.2%), and English Language Arts (28.2% for 8th grade) significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance on End-of-Course exams is also concerning, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (41.1%), Biology I (13.6%), and English II (below state average) lagging behind the state. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.1% to 95.3% in recent years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the state average. Bismarck R-V High has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.1% to 32.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Farmington Senior High and West County High, Bismarck R-V High performs significantly worse, with lower academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Missouri high schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the challenges faced by Bismarck R-V High may be unique or more pronounced, potentially due to the high concentration of low-socioeconomic status students it serves, with nearly 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
