Summary:
The Galena R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Galena High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data reveals some concerning trends, with consistently low rankings and academic achievement well below state averages.
Galena High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools, with a statewide ranking of 340 out of 378 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Galena High's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts well below the state averages.
While the school's graduation rate is slightly above the state average, the chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than the state average. Additionally, Galena High serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes suggest that the district is allocating resources to the school, but these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and resource utilization.
