Summary:
The Paris R-II school district in Missouri has only one high school, Paris High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 96.6%, its academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra and Biology lagging behind state averages.
Paris High has a student enrollment of 135 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, suggesting a potentially supportive learning environment. However, the school's test scores indicate room for improvement, with only 23.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 34% in Biology I, and a mere 6% in Algebra II, all significantly lower than state averages. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 38.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Paris High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 199th out of 361 schools in 2021-2022 to 294th out of 352 schools in 2022-2023, with a current ranking of 249th out of 378 schools for the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school is making efforts to improve, but continued focus on academic achievement and support for economically disadvantaged students could be key to driving further progress.
