Community High

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Community High is a public high school located in Laddonia, Missouri, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past several years, with a 1 or 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

One key differentiating factor for Community High is its significantly higher percentage of white students (93-97%) compared to nearby schools, which have more racial diversity. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates on MAP tests consistently lower than state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 28% of 8th graders were proficient in Math, compared to the state average of 30%. Community High also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33% to 50% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite spending more per student ($12,774 to $13,964) than the nearby schools, such as Montgomery County High, Mexico High, and Wellsville-Middletown High School, Community High has not been able to improve its academic performance compared to the state. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation. The school's declining performance over the past decade, from a high of 3 stars in 2016-2017 to just 1 star in recent years, is also a concerning trend.
