Summary

Sturgeon High is a public high school located in Sturgeon, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 138 students. The school is part of the Sturgeon R-V school district, which is ranked 282 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sturgeon High has faced significant challenges in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 78.7% to 91.8%, which is generally lower than nearby schools like Westran High (100%), Madison High (100%), and Centralia High (96.9%). Additionally, Sturgeon High's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state averages, with only 36.6% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 21.3% proficient in Biology I, compared to state averages of 45.4% and 37.3%, respectively. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 26.6%, which is notably higher than nearby schools.

Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending that is on par with or higher than nearby schools, Sturgeon High's academic outcomes are lagging behind. The school's declining performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has dropped from a high of 4 stars in 2014-2015 to just 1 star in the most recent year. While Sturgeon High is not the lowest-performing school in the area, it is generally outperformed by nearby schools on key metrics, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and support systems to improve outcomes for its students.
