Summary:
The Sullivan school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's performance is mixed, with Sullivan Middle School standing out as a consistent high performer, while Sullivan Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and academic proficiency.
Sullivan Middle School is the district's top performer, ranking 96 out of 451 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state average on MAP tests, particularly in 7th grade math and 8th grade science. In contrast, Sullivan Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 103 out of 361 Missouri high schools in 2021-2022 to 197 out of 378 in 2023-2024. The high school's proficiency rates on End of Course exams have also declined in some subjects compared to the state averages.
A district-wide issue that warrants attention is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.3% across all four schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Addressing this challenge could be a key focus area for the district to improve overall student outcomes. While the district's performance is mixed, the data analysis provides valuable insights for the community to understand the strengths and areas for improvement in the Sullivan school system.
