Summary

Waynesville Senior High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Waynesville, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 1,693 students. The school is part of the Waynesville R-VI school district, which is ranked 61 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waynesville Senior High has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri high schools over the past several years, with strong academic performance, particularly in English II. The school maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.9% to 93.9%, which is higher than the state average. Waynesville Senior High also performs well in several student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, often ranking in the top 25% of Missouri high schools for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for Multi-racial and English Language Learner students is more mixed, indicating a potential opportunity for further support in these areas.

While Waynesville Senior High generally outperforms nearby schools like Newburg High, some other local schools, such as Iberia High and Richland High, have lower chronic absenteeism rates and better test scores in certain subject areas. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Waynesville Senior High, ranging from 18.0% to 27.1%, is an area of concern that the school may need to address to improve overall student outcomes.
