Soldan International Studies consistently performs poorly on state assessments, with only 4.3% of students proficient or better in MAP/Biology I, compared to 19.7% in the district and 37.3% statewide. The school also has a relatively low four-year graduation rate, ranging from 69.3% to 77.2%, and a high dropout rate, ranging from 6.1% to 14.0%. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with rates ranging from 50.1% to 78.6%, far exceeding state and district averages.

In contrast, Metro High, a public magnet school located near Soldan International Studies, consistently ranks among the top high schools in Missouri, with exceptional academic performance and high graduation rates. The stark difference highlights the potential for improvement, but also the need for substantial interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to Soldan International Studies' struggles.
