Summary

Blue Springs High is a public high school located in Blue Springs, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,396 students. It is part of the Blue Springs R-IV school district, which is ranked 30th out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blue Springs High has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri high schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 90 out of 367 schools. The school generally outperforms the state and district averages on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Algebra II, English II, and Government. However, the school lags behind the district average in Algebra I and Biology I EOC exams, indicating a potential area for improvement. Blue Springs High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90% to 98.3% over the past few years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the district average. The school's dropout rate is also low, ranging from 0.2% to 0.7% in recent years, which is lower than the state and district averages.

While Blue Springs High has performed well for many subgroups, the variable performance for students with disabilities is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. The increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 18.05% in 2021-2022 to 31.3% in 2023-2024, indicates a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support. Nearby schools in the Independence 30 and Oak Grove R-VI districts, such as William Chrisman High and Oak Grove High, generally perform below the state and district averages on EOC exams and have lower graduation rates.
