Summary:
The 63555 zip code is home to a single high school, Scotland County High School, which serves students in the Scotland County R-I district. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years, it has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate, a notable achievement.
Scotland County High School's performance is mixed, with some subject areas, such as 8th grade Mathematics and Biology I End of Course, performing on par or slightly better than the state average, while others fall below. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students (38.37%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Scotland County High School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which is lower than the state average, and its spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $13,640, higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school is allocating resources to support its students, but the effectiveness of this spending should be further examined in the context of the school's academic performance.
