Summary:
The Green Ridge R-VIII school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Green Ridge High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with a significant drop in its statewide ranking and rating, and struggles with underperformance on key end-of-course exams.
Green Ridge High has a predominantly white student population, with a significant Hispanic minority and smaller percentages of other racial groups. The school's academic performance is mixed, with above-average 7th grade MAP scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts, but concerning results on Algebra I and Biology I end-of-course exams, where proficiency rates are well below the state average. Additionally, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's current challenges, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement. The stronger performance on 7th grade assessments indicates that the school may be more successful in supporting student learning in the earlier grades, and identifying and replicating these strategies could help address the school's overall academic performance issues. However, the school's declining ranking and rating, as well as its struggles with end-of-course exams, suggest that significant work is needed to improve the quality of education for students at Green Ridge High.
