Summary

Wright City High is a public high school serving 543 students in grades 9-12 in Wright City, Missouri, which is part of the Wright City R-II of Warren County School District. While the school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 90th out of 504 Missouri high schools in 2014-2015 to 235th out of 367 in 2024-2025. This trend suggests the school may be struggling to keep pace with academic improvements in other districts across the state.

Academically, Wright City High's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.6% in Algebra I to 45.8% in English II in 2024-2025. Compared to nearby schools like Ft. Zumwalt West High and Liberty High School, Wright City High lags behind in academic achievement. The school also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.7% to 35.5% in recent years, which may be contributing to its academic struggles.

Additionally, Wright City High has a significant population of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 39.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments for low-SES students is generally lower than the overall student population. Wright City High has also struggled to support its Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and students with disabilities, ranking significantly lower than the state average for these subgroups. Addressing these achievement gaps should be a priority for the school and district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
