Summary:
The Grandview C-4 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Grandview Senior High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (61.68%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.
Academically, Grandview Senior High struggles, with its students performing significantly below the state averages on Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests across multiple subject areas, including Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and Algebra II. The school's ranking within the state has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 266 out of 358 schools in 2020-2021 to 290 out of 361 schools in 2021-2022, and is currently ranked 269 out of 352 Missouri high schools for the 2022-2023 school year, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,925 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.4, which is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for effective instruction, the academic performance remains low. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach to improving educational quality and student outcomes is necessary to address the unique challenges faced by Grandview Senior High and the Grandview C-4 school district.
