High Schools in Gilman City R-IV

Gilman City R-IV school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Gilman City High, which serves a small student population of just 71 students. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, Gilman City High has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Missouri high schools over the past decade, with poor academic performance in core subjects like Algebra I and Biology I.

Gilman City High faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 59.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage among the student population likely contributes to the school's struggles, as evidenced by its low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is predominantly white, with 94.37% of students identifying as such, suggesting a lack of diversity that could impact the educational experience.

While Gilman City R-IV spends more per student than the state average, the district's sole high school continues to underperform academically. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to address the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic challenges and lack of diversity, that may be hindering student success at Gilman City High.
