Best Public Schools in Senath, MO

Summary:

The city of Senath, Missouri is home to two schools - Senath-Hornersville Elementary School and Senath-Hornersville High School, both part of the Senath-Hornersville C-8 district. While the high school has shown some improvement in recent years, the elementary school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, with below-average test scores and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Senath-Hornersville Elementary School has dropped from the 257th out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 656th out of 898 in 2022-2023, with only 41.7% of 3rd graders and 15.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in math, and 33.3% of 3rd graders and 31.7% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. In contrast, Senath-Hornersville High School has shown improvement, moving from 440th out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 151st out of 352 in 2022-2023, though it still has a relatively low 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Both schools face significant economic challenges, with over 98% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of poverty likely has a substantial impact on the schools' ability to provide resources and support for their students. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools, with a majority Hispanic and white student population, raises questions about potential opportunity gaps and the equitable distribution of educational resources. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the Senath community.
