Summary:
The Lewis County C-1 school district in Missouri operates two schools: Highland Elementary and Highland Junior-Senior High. Both schools are performing below the state average on academic metrics, with Highland Elementary ranked 564 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and Highland Junior-Senior High ranked 270 out of 352 Missouri high schools.
Academically, the schools struggle, with only 21.2% of 3rd graders at Highland Elementary proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.1%. The district also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 49.33% of Highland Elementary students and 37.53% of Highland Junior-Senior High students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, the district has not seen commensurate improvements in academic performance.
The lack of diversity in the Lewis County C-1 district, with a predominantly white student population, may also be a concern and could impact the educational experiences of students. Overall, the data suggests that the district needs to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic, socioeconomic, and resource allocation challenges facing its schools.
