Summary:
The city of Maryland Heights, Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a diverse set of schools with varying levels of academic performance and student demographics.
Among the standout schools are McKelvey Intermediate, which consistently ranks among the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools, and Rose Acres Elementary, another high-performing elementary school. At the high school level, Pattonville Senior High stands out with a strong 88.6% four-year graduation rate and solid test scores, particularly in Algebra II and English II.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement between the top-performing elementary schools and the lower-performing ones. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, ranging from 15.1% to 22.3%. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free/reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools with the lowest rates of free/reduced-price lunch also having the highest test scores. These findings suggest the need for a closer examination of instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies to address attendance and socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the observed performance gaps.
