Summary

Cuba High is a public high school located in Cuba, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 441 students. The school is part of the Crawford County R-II School District, which is ranked 142 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cuba High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 96.0% to 97.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Sullivan Senior High (90.2%) and Bourbon High School (91.3%). However, the school's performance on state assessments (MAP) is mixed, with strong results in English II but struggles in Algebra I and Biology I, which are below the state and district averages. Additionally, Cuba High has experienced a higher rate of chronic absenteeism compared to nearby schools.

While Cuba High has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, its performance varies across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds but struggles with Special Education and Disabled students. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, which may be related to the decrease in spending per student from $10,229 in 2018-2019 to $9,293 in 2021-2022.
