Summary

Gideon High is a public high school located in Gideon, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 102 students. The school is part of the Gideon 37 school district, which is ranked 359 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gideon High has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools like Portageville High and Bernie High on standardized tests, with only 6.7% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and Biology I, compared to the state averages of 45.4% and 37.3%, respectively. The school's graduation rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 75% to 100% in recent years, which is lower than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, Gideon High has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 6.3% to 9.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and some nearby schools.

Despite the high percentage of low-income students at Gideon High, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school spends more per student ($14,894 in 2021-2022) compared to some nearby schools like Campbell High ($9,692 in 2021-2022) and Portageville High ($11,389 in 2021-2022). This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to ensure that the additional funding is being used to support student learning and achievement.
