Summary:
The city of Bonne Terre, Missouri is home to two schools: North County Senior High, a high school serving grades 9-12, and North County Primary, an elementary school serving grades PK-2. While the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, the elementary school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The high school has a 4-year graduation rate of 90.3%, which is above the state average, but its test scores are relatively low compared to the state, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.3% in Algebra I to 37.6% in English II. Both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism at 16.4%, which could be a contributing factor to their academic performance. The schools also serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 48.45% at the high school to 55.87% at the elementary school.
Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there are opportunities for improvement at both schools. Targeted interventions and support, as well as a focus on addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning, could help to improve outcomes for the students in North St. Francois County R-I school district.
