Best Public Schools in Green Ridge, MO

Summary:

The city of Green Ridge, Missouri is home to two schools: Green Ridge Elementary and Green Ridge High, both part of the Green Ridge R-VIII district. While Green Ridge Elementary consistently performs well, ranking in the top 25-30% of Missouri elementary schools, Green Ridge High has experienced a significant decline in state-wide rankings, dropping from the top 25% to the bottom 15% in recent years.

Green Ridge Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with 4th and 6th-grade math proficiency rates significantly above the state average. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, which may contribute to its success. In contrast, Green Ridge High underperforms the state average in both math and ELA for 7th grade, indicating a need for improvement at the high school level.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance, as Green Ridge Elementary has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 57.22% compared to 46.41% at Green Ridge High. This suggests the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which research has shown can impact educational outcomes. The district may have opportunities to share best practices from the successful elementary school to help improve performance at the high school level.
