Summary

Savannah High is a public high school located in Savannah, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 734 students. The school is part of the Savannah R-III School District, which is ranked 92 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Savannah High has consistently maintained high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.7% to 96.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has low dropout rates, ranging from 1.0% to 1.7% in recent years, lower than the state average. However, Savannah High has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.9% to 20.5% in the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores in various subjects, such as Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and Government, have been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with the school performing well in some areas but lagging behind in others.

When compared to nearby schools, South Nodaway High and Union Star High generally outperform Savannah High in areas such as graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. Savannah High, however, performs better than Benton High and Riverbend Treatment Center in these metrics. The school's performance on specific student subgroups and the growing population of economically disadvantaged students suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
