High Schools in Westran R-I

The Westran R-I school district in Missouri has only one high school, Westran High, which serves grades 9-12. With a student population of 178, Westran High has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 215 out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 264 out of 361 in 2021-2022, before improving slightly to 211 out of 352 in 2022-2023.

Academically, Westran High struggles, with proficiency rates on the MAP/Algebra I and MAP/Biology I End of Course exams falling well below the state average. The school's Algebra I proficiency rate is 36.1%, compared to the state average of 41.5%, while its Biology I proficiency rate is 28.3%, compared to the state average of 38.5%. This underperformance suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its academic support and curriculum to better prepare students for these important assessments.

Despite these challenges, Westran High has some potential strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, which could allow for more individualized attention and support. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $17,426 is higher than the state average, indicating that resources may be available to address the needs of its student population, which has a relatively high percentage (47.19%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher level of economic disadvantage.
