Summary

North High is a public high school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 1,013 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Parkway C-2 School District, which is ranked 39 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

North High's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II was 39.9%, 38%, and 51.8%, respectively, compared to the Parkway C-2 district averages of 67%, 54.1%, and 68.5%. However, the school's performance on the Algebra II and Government end-of-course exams is relatively stronger, with 57.7% and 42.5% proficiency, respectively, compared to the district.

Despite the academic challenges, North High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.3% to 95.2% over the past few years, which is comparable to the Parkway C-2 district average. The school's dropout rate has also been relatively low, ranging from 0.9% to 1.4% over the same period. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have been relatively high, ranging from 15.1% to 25.5% in recent years, which may be an area of concern.
