Summary:
The city of Billings, Missouri has two public schools serving students from elementary through high school - Billings Elementary and Billings Senior High, both part of the Billings R-IV school district. Based on the available data, these schools are performing below average compared to state-wide metrics, with both schools receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Billings Elementary is ranked 806 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts compared to the state averages. The school has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 45.42%, indicating a significant population of students from low-income households. Billings Senior High is ranked 267 out of 378 Missouri high schools and also has a 1-star rating, with similar academic challenges to the elementary school.
Both Billings Elementary and Billings Senior High have high chronic absenteeism rates of 16.4%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. While Billings Senior High spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than the elementary school, this does not seem to be translating into significantly better outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Billings, Missouri are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students, and addressing underlying issues such as poverty, attendance, and resource allocation may be necessary to improve the academic performance of these schools.
