Summary

North County Senior High is a public high school serving 879 students in grades 9-12 in the North St. Francois County R-I school district in Bonne Terre, Missouri. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 71st out of 404 Missouri high schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 306th out of 367 schools.

North County Senior High has seen significant fluctuations in its 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 69.4% to 90.3% over the past few years. This is lower than the nearby Potosi High (98.0%) and Farmington Senior High (92.7%). The school's dropout rate has also varied, from a low of 1.1% to a high of 4.5%, which is higher than the 0.9% rate at Potosi High and the 1.3% rate at Central High. Additionally, North County Senior High has struggled with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.4% to 26.4%, significantly higher than the 15.1% rate at Bismarck R-V High and the 15.8% rate at West County High.

The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 3.5% of North County Senior High students proficient or better in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to 14.3% for the North St. Francois County R-I district and 45.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom quarter or third of Missouri high schools. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that considers the school's socioeconomic context, staffing and resource needs, and strategies for improving student engagement and achievement.
