Summary:
The Crossroads Charter Schools district in Missouri contains a single high school, Crossroads Preparatory Academy, which serves grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and a high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Crossroads Preparatory Academy is significantly underperforming compared to state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, only 14.6% of 8th-grade students are proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 30%. The school's performance on end-of-course exams is also very low, with only 10.4% proficient or better in Algebra I, 13.2% in Biology I, and 2.1% in Algebra II, compared to state averages of 41.5%, 38.5%, and 51.6%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $17,130, which is above the state average, the academic outcomes suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The combination of low academic performance, high free/reduced lunch rate, and the school's ranking in the bottom 10% of Missouri high schools indicates that Crossroads Preparatory Academy is a struggling school that requires further investigation and targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.
