High Schools in Northeast Vernon County R-I

The Northeast Vernon County R-I High is the sole high school serving grades 7-12 in the Northeast Vernon County R-I school district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 104 students, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri high schools and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years.

The school's low statewide ranking and persistent 1-star rating suggest it is facing significant challenges. Its high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, well above the state average, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (67.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 could be a potential strength, it does not appear to be sufficient to overcome the broader challenges the school is facing. Addressing the systemic issues, such as improving attendance and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, may be necessary to improve the school's academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its students.
