Sullivan

The Sullivan school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district's schools display a mix of strong academic performance and areas for improvement, with Sullivan Middle School standing out as a top performer in the region.

Sullivan Middle School is the district's standout, ranking 90th out of 459 Missouri middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students have outperformed the state average on MAP tests in both Math and English Language Arts, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5. In contrast, Sullivan Senior High has seen a concerning decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 72nd in 2020-2021 to 171st in 2022-2023, despite maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 15.2.

Across the Sullivan school district, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 92.01% to 93.08% across the schools. The percentage of Hispanic students is relatively high, while the percentage of African American students is low. The district also faces socioeconomic challenges, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 38.94% at Sullivan Senior High to 58.48% at Sullivan Primary. These factors may contribute to the academic performance of the district's schools and warrant further investigation and potential interventions to support student success.
