Summary:
The Verona R-Vii school district in Missouri has only one high school, Verona High, which serves 195 students from grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly low-income, with 77.44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the racial makeup is 65.13% White, 30.26% Hispanic, and 3.08% Asian.
Academically, Verona High is struggling, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 7th grade Mathematics, only 14.3% of Verona High students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 39.5%. The school's performance on End-of-Course exams in Algebra I and Biology I is also well below the state averages. As a result, Verona High has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri high schools and has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's low academic performance, Verona High appears to have a relatively high level of resources, with a per-student spending of $12,853 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2. This raises questions about the effective utilization of these resources and the need for targeted interventions and comprehensive strategies to address the school's challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.
