St. Louis City


Summary:

The St. Louis City school district consists of 63 schools, including 42 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 13 high schools, serving a diverse student population. The district faces significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high dropout and chronic absenteeism, and lagging test scores compared to state averages. However, the data reveals a stark divide between the highest and lowest performing schools in the district.

At the top end, schools like Mallinckrodt A.B.I. Elementary, Metro High, Collegiate School Of Med/Bio, and Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Ac stand out as high-performing outliers, with exceptional test scores and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the majority of schools in the St. Louis City district struggle, with proficiency rates in the 10-30% range and significant resource challenges.

Addressing the systemic issues facing the district, such as chronic absenteeism, funding disparities, and the need for more effective school models, will be critical to improving outcomes for all students. The data suggests that the specialized and magnet school programs may be a promising approach, but broader reforms are needed to ensure equitable access to high-quality education across the St. Louis City school system.
