Summary:
South Pemiscot County R-V is a rural school district in Missouri that contains a single high school, South Pemiscot High School. The school serves a small student population of 245 and faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with significant socioeconomic disadvantages.
South Pemiscot High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past few years, with its statewide ranking declining from 263 in 2023-2024 to 335 in 2021-2022. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with only 4.2% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 30.6%. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 93.3% in 2023-2024 is slightly above the state average, suggesting that there may be opportunities for improvement.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) at South Pemiscot High School indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the relatively low statewide ranking of the South Pemiscot County R-V school district (301 out of 386) and the low per-student spending ($10,839) may suggest that the district is not allocating sufficient resources to support the needs of the high school and its students.
