University City

Summary:

The University City School District in Missouri serves a diverse community, with 6 schools including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some challenges, there are also bright spots that stand out among the schools.

University City Senior High has a strong 91.7% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 2.5% dropout rate. However, the school's academic performance lags behind state averages, with only 22% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to the state's 41.5%. In contrast, Brittany Woods Middle School shines with an impressive 93.8% proficiency rate in Algebra I, far exceeding the district and state averages.

Among the elementary schools, Flynn Park Elementary stands out with a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and stronger test scores than the district and state. For example, 44.1% of 3rd graders at Flynn Park were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 32.4% for the University City district and 41.6% for the state. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency levels across various subjects and grade levels.
