Rich Hill High

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Rich Hill High is a public high school located in Rich Hill, Missouri, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 190 students. The school is part of the Rich Hill R-IV school district, which is ranked 127 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rich Hill High has seen a significant improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 76.9% in 2021-2022 to 90.9% in 2022-2023 and 100% in 2023-2024. This is a notable achievement, as it exceeds the graduation rates of nearby schools like Appleton City High (87.5%) and Northeast Vernon County R-I High (78.9%). However, the school struggles in other areas, such as English Language Arts, where proficiency rates are below the state average. Additionally, Rich Hill High has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.4% in 2021-2022 to 11.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Butler High (13.6%) and Nevada High (15.6%).

Rich Hill High serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2021-2022. This is higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Appleton City High (38.61%) and Nevada High (45.7%). While Rich Hill High has some areas of strength, such as its high graduation rates, it generally underperforms compared to nearby schools in terms of test scores and overall statewide rankings. The school's leadership and the Rich Hill R-IV district should closely examine the factors contributing to the school's performance and develop a comprehensive plan to address the identified issues.
