Summary:
The Confluence Academies district in Missouri operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the district as a whole faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below state averages, a few schools stand out as relatively stronger performers.
Grand Center Arts Academy High School ranks the highest among the Confluence Academies high schools, with a 4-year graduation rate of 88.6% and outperforming the district and state in Algebra I and Biology I end-of-course exams. Similarly, Grand Center Arts Academy Middle School ranks the highest among the district's middle schools and outperforms in several 6th-8th grade MAP assessments, particularly in English Language Arts.
However, the district's two largest elementary schools, South City and Old North Academy, struggle academically, with proficiency rates in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools. The high schools, Grand Center Arts Academy High and Confluence Preparatory Academy, also underperform the state averages in Algebra I and Biology I. Addressing these systemic challenges and learning from the relatively stronger-performing schools within the district could be crucial steps in improving student outcomes across the Confluence Academies.
