Summary

Riverview Gardens Senior High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Missouri, with statewide rankings ranging from 327 to 444 out of 352 to 460 high schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average, with only 1.6% to 18.4% of students proficient or better in core subjects. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 66.5% to 71.2%, and high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 58.1% to 73.9%. Nearby schools, such as North Technical, Northview, and Jennings High, also perform poorly compared to the state average, but Riverview Gardens Senior High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in the region.

Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,572 to $12,992, Riverview Gardens Senior High is not achieving the desired academic outcomes. The school also struggles to support its most vulnerable student populations, such as African American, special education, and low-income students, suggesting the need for more targeted and effective interventions to address these equity gaps. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key lever for improving student outcomes at the school.
