Summary

Russellville High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Russellville, Missouri, with 295 students enrolled. It is part of the Cole County R-I school district, which is ranked 98 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Russellville High has some notable strengths, including consistently high 4-year graduation rates ranging from 94.2% to 95.8%, which are significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests shows room for improvement, with the school performing above the state average in 7th grade Math and 8th grade Science, but lagging behind in subjects like Algebra II and Biology I. Additionally, Russellville High has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students compared to the state average, which can impact academic performance.

When compared to nearby high schools like Blair Oaks High, Jefferson City High, and Capital City High School, Russellville High generally performs below these schools in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. However, it still outperforms the state average in several areas. The school's fluctuating performance over the years suggests that factors such as staffing, curriculum, or student demographics may be influencing its academic outcomes.
