El Dorado Springs High

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

El Dorado Springs High is a public high school serving 348 students in grades 9-12 in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, which is part of the El Dorado Springs R-II School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.

El Dorado Springs High has struggled to meet academic benchmarks, particularly for its white and economically disadvantaged student populations. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments in core subjects like Algebra, Biology, and English lag well behind the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a slightly lower-than-average graduation rate. Nearby schools like Nevada High and Stockton High have outperformed El Dorado Springs High on various metrics, suggesting the school could benefit from learning from their practices and strategies.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at El Dorado Springs High, ranging from 23.61% to 42.86% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are relatively consistent with nearby schools, addressing the socioeconomic needs of its student population could be a key priority for the school and district in order to improve overall academic outcomes.
