Summary

Raymore-Peculiar Senior High is a public high school located in Peculiar, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,560 students. The school is part of the Raymore-Peculiar R-II School District, which is ranked 135 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Raymore-Peculiar Senior High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.2% to 92.3% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the nearby schools like Ruskin High School and Grandview Senior High. The school's dropout rates have also been relatively low, ranging from 1.6% to 3.3% in recent years, lower than some nearby schools. However, the school has shown mixed performance on state assessments (MAP) compared to the state and district averages, performing well in some subject areas but struggling in others.

When compared to nearby high schools, Raymore-Peculiar Senior High generally performs better than schools like Ruskin High and Grandview Senior High in areas such as graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Lee's Summit Senior High and Lee's Summit West High in terms of test scores and overall statewide ranking. The school's struggles with its Low Socioeconomic Status and Special Education student subgroups suggest it may face challenges in addressing the needs of these populations, which could be an area for the school to focus on improving.
