High Schools in South Harrison County R-II

Summary:

The South Harrison County R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, South Harrison High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance and rankings have declined in recent years, raising concerns about the factors influencing its effectiveness.

South Harrison High has a student enrollment of 254, with a predominantly White (94.09%) student population and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 42.13%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments in Algebra I (41.3%) and Biology I (15.5%) are below the state averages, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 109th out of 358 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 to 241st out of 352 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same period.

Despite the district's higher-than-average per-student spending ($13,893) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio (13.7), the school's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the resources invested. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization within the school and district. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the challenges facing South Harrison High and improve the overall educational outcomes for students in the South Harrison County R-II district.
