Best Public Schools in Huntsville, MO

Summary:

The city of Huntsville, Missouri is home to two schools, Westran Elementary and Westran High, both part of the Westran R-I school district. While these schools share some similarities, they have also seen diverging trends in their academic performance and statewide rankings over the past few years.

Westran Elementary has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating as it fell from the 278th to the 511th position among Missouri elementary schools. In contrast, Westran High has maintained a 2-star rating, but its ranking has also slipped from 215th to 211th among high schools in the state. Both schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 47% of students at Westran High and 58% at Westran Elementary qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, well above the state average.

Academically, Westran Elementary has struggled with below-average math proficiency rates, particularly in grade 5, while its science proficiency in grade 5 is significantly higher than the state average. Westran High's overall academic performance has also declined, as evidenced by its dropping statewide ranking. Despite the schools' higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the data suggests a need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the declining performance and the implementation of targeted strategies to address the unique needs of the student populations and improve academic outcomes.
