High Schools in Hickman Mills C-1

The Hickman Mills C-1 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Ruskin High School, which serves a diverse student population with significant economic challenges. Despite the district's higher-than-average per-student spending, Ruskin High School's academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri high schools, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

Ruskin High School's student body is predominantly African American (66.38%) and Hispanic (17.52%), and 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's low academic performance, as evidenced by its poor proficiency rates and statewide rankings, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. This may be due in part to the socioeconomic factors that impact the school's population.

While the data does not provide specific insights into the school's strategies or initiatives, the persistent academic challenges and high economic disadvantage faced by Ruskin High School indicate that the school and district may require targeted interventions and additional support to help its students achieve at higher levels. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including a focus on supporting the unique needs of the school's diverse student population.
