Summary

Crane High is a public high school located in Crane, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 234 students. The school is part of the Crane R-III School District, which is ranked 227 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crane High has some notable strengths, such as its 100% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools like Spokane High (91.5%) and Verona High (88.2%). However, the school faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 17.3% to 21.5% over the past few years, higher than the state average and the nearby schools such as Clever High (17.3%), Billings Senior High (16.4%), and Galena High (7.8%).

Crane High's test scores in various subjects and grade levels are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby high-performing schools, such as Marionville High and Clever High, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I and Biology I. Additionally, Crane High has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.86% to 48.72% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Crane High, ranging from $9,868 to $11,342 over the past few years, the school's academic performance is still lagging behind the state averages and some of the nearby schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play.
