The Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School also stands out, with an impressive 97.2% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.2% dropout rate. Across the district, students generally perform well on state assessments, often exceeding the state average in math, science, and English language arts.
While the district as a whole demonstrates strong academic outcomes, there is some variation in student demographics and spending per student across the schools. The high school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the elementary schools. Additionally, the consistent chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4% across all schools suggests this may be an area for the district to focus on improving student attendance.
