Summary

Vashon High is a public high school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 616 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 329 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vashon High consistently performs significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 4% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 22% in the district and 45.4% statewide. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 59.2% to 73.9%, and high dropout rates, from 7.2% to 18.2%. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with rates ranging from 50.1% to 83.1%, much higher than the state and district averages.

Vashon High's challenges are not unique, as nearby schools like Miller Career Academy, Beaumont CTE High School, and Sumner High also struggle academically. However, the data suggests that the school's issues may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources, as Vashon High spends a relatively high amount per student and has a low student-teacher ratio. Nearby magnet schools, such as Metro High and Grand Center Arts Academy High, perform significantly better, highlighting the potential impact of specialized, high-performing programs on student outcomes.
