Summary

Sullivan Senior High is a public high school located in Sullivan, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 708 students. The school is part of the Sullivan School District, which is ranked 129 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Sullivan Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 36th out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 (rated 5 stars) to a low of 197th out of 378 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars). The school has struggled with the performance of certain student subgroups, particularly White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who have consistently ranked in the bottom half or bottom third of Missouri high schools in their respective categories. However, the school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 85.5% to 91.5% over the past few years, despite experiencing high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.3% to 24.4% in recent years.

When compared to the nearby schools of Cuba High, Union High, St. Clair High, and Bourbon High School, Sullivan Senior High generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates are higher than most of the nearby schools, indicating that this is a unique challenge for Sullivan Senior High.
