Summary:
The Gasconade County R-I school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Hermann High, Hermann Middle, and Hermann Elementary. The district faces a mix of strengths and challenges, with Hermann High consistently ranking in the top half of Missouri high schools, while Hermann Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking.
Hermann High stands out with a 96.5% 4-year graduation rate and strong performance on Biology I exams, exceeding the state average. In contrast, Hermann Middle excels in 4th grade math and 8th grade science but struggles with English Language Arts proficiency across grade levels. Hermann Elementary has mixed results, with 3rd grade math slightly below the state average and 3rd grade ELA slightly above.
Across the district, there are concerns about chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average, and socioeconomic factors, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 50% at the middle and elementary schools. Addressing these challenges, along with the inconsistent academic proficiency, could help the Gasconade County R-I district improve overall student outcomes.
