Summary:
The Crawford County R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Cuba High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school boasts a strong 97.1% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance, as measured by test scores in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II, lags behind both the district and state averages.
Cuba High's dropout rate of 1.1% is relatively low, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3% is higher than the state average, which could be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, with 41.37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may also be a factor in its lower test scores.
The data analysis reveals that Cuba High's statewide ranking has declined from 246 out of 361 Missouri high schools in 2021-2022 to 268 out of 378 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend. While the school's spending per student of $9,293 is in line with the state average, its student-teacher ratio of 14.7 is slightly higher than the state average, which could impact the level of individual attention and support students receive. Overall, the data suggests that Cuba High faces several areas for improvement, particularly in academic performance and addressing chronic absenteeism.
