Sullivan Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 36th out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 197th out of 378 in 2023-2024. The school has performed well for its White and Low Socio-Economic Status students, but has struggled with its Special Education and Disabled student populations. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has been increasing, reaching 2.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Sullivan Senior High's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with the school scoring below the state average in Algebra I, Biology I, and Government, but performing better in English II.

When compared to nearby high schools like Cuba High, Union High, St. Clair High, and Bourbon High School, Sullivan Senior High generally performs better in terms of statewide ranking and rating, as well as graduation and dropout rates. However, the school's test scores are often on par with or slightly below these nearby schools. Additionally, Sullivan Senior High has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.3% to 24.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be contributing to the school's declining performance and rising dropout rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
