Summary:
The Normandy Schools Collaborative district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Normandy High, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Missouri high schools. The school faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely low academic proficiency rates compared to the state average.
Normandy High has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance. Only 60.9% of students graduate within four years, and 12.0% drop out. Proficiency rates on state assessments are alarmingly low, with just 1.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 3.7% in Biology I, 9.0% in English II, and 8.4% in Government. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with 50.4% of students chronically absent.
Despite the high per-student spending of $19,092, which is above the state average, Normandy High continues to face significant challenges. The school's demographics reflect a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 99.59%, suggesting deep-rooted socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the school's persistent underperformance. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
