Summary:
The city of Broseley, Missouri has only one public high school, Twin Rivers High, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Twin Rivers R-X school district. While the school boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, it faces challenges with below-average performance on state assessments and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student population.
Twin Rivers High's dropout rate of 2.5% is lower than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9% is higher. The school's performance on state assessments is also a concern, with only 33.2% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 24% proficient or better in Biology I, compared to state averages of 41.5% and 37.4%, respectively. The school district's spending per student of $10,897 is slightly higher than the state average, and the school has a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 12.3.
Despite the school's strengths, such as its high graduation rate, the data suggests that Twin Rivers High faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 244 out of 358 high schools in 2020-2021 to 292 out of 361 high schools in 2021-2022, indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic performance and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
