Interestingly, the nearby Roosevelt High School and Idalou High School, while not perfect, demonstrate significantly better academic performance and student outcomes compared to Ralls High School. Additionally, Ralls High School spends significantly more per student ($18,980 in 2020-2021) compared to Roosevelt High School ($13,808) and Idalou High School ($13,741), despite its lower academic performance, suggesting that the school may not be efficiently allocating its resources to support student learning.
