Green Ridge High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Green Ridge High is a public high school located in Green Ridge, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 181 students. Despite maintaining a consistently high 100% four-year graduation rate, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 23rd out of 522 Missouri high schools in 2011-2012 to 304th out of 352 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year.

One of the key metrics that differentiates Green Ridge High is its chronic absenteeism rate, which has steadily increased from 9.8% in 2023-2024 to 15.2% in 2021-2022, higher than the state average and the rates of most nearby schools like Smithton High and Northwest High. Additionally, while the school's test scores in 7th grade mathematics and 8th grade science are generally higher than the state averages, its performance in Algebra I and Biology I End-of-Course exams is significantly lower.

Another interesting finding is the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Green Ridge High, ranging from 25.16% to 48.33% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of some nearby schools like Cole Camp High and Lincoln High. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to its overall performance challenges.
