Summary:
The city of Warsaw, Missouri is home to three schools serving grades K-12: Warsaw High School, North Elementary, and John Boise Middle School. While Warsaw R-IX school district has a high graduation rate at Warsaw High School, the district as a whole is ranked in the bottom 25% of Missouri schools and has concerning academic performance across the board.
Warsaw High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and a low dropout rate of 1.8%. However, the school's statewide ranking and rating are quite low, with a 1-star rating out of 5 and ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri high schools. North Elementary has a better student-teacher ratio than the state average, but consistently low test scores across subjects. John Boise Middle School is particularly concerning, with only 4.7% of 8th graders proficient in mathematics, compared to a state average of 30.6%, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1%.
Across all three schools, the data reveals extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 98.92% to 99.26%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. The consistently low test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, suggest a significant need for academic improvement and intervention within the Warsaw R-IX school district. While the high spending per student at Warsaw High School does not seem to be translating into better outcomes, targeted support and resources may be necessary to address the educational challenges faced by these schools.
