Summary:
The Pleasant Hope R-VI school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Pleasant Hope High School. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Missouri high schools over the past three school years, with low performance on standardized assessments and high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout.
Pleasant Hope High School faces significant challenges, with a low statewide ranking, a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, and academic achievement well below the state average in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and English II. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is also below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.9% is slightly higher than the state average. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the school serves a high-poverty population, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Pleasant Hope High School. Strategies to address the school's low performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout, and socioeconomic challenges could include increased academic support, attendance initiatives, and social-emotional learning programs. While the school's performance is low compared to the state average, it is also underperforming compared to the overall Pleasant Hope R-VI district, indicating that the school may require additional resources and support beyond the district level.
