We are excited to share the results of the latest Annual Performance Report (APR) for the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District under the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP-6). The 2024 APR is based on data from the 2023-24 school year. MRH has earned 97% of the total APR points, placing the District among the top 1% of districts in the state.

This year's APR not only highlights MRH successes, but also serves as an additional data point to support continuous improvement efforts. While APR data is beneficial, our local benchmark assessments are instrumental in helping us identify trends, illustrate areas of need and inform our ongoing efforts.

We are especially proud of the growth we've seen from last year to this year. Our students and staff have shown an incredible commitment to learning, and it is because of this partnership that we are able to experience such growth.

Highlights from 2023-2024:

• Increased from 53% to 88.5% of possible points for student growth

• Increased from 50% to 75% of the possible points for attendance

The 2024 APR includes points (weighted) for both performance and continuous improvement standards. MRH earned approximately 96% of the possible points in the performance category, and 98% of the possible points in the continuous improvement area, for a final weighted average of 97%.

The full 2024 report can be found on the Data & Assessment page of this website.

A district's APR score is created from a wide range of data based on results from academic achievement and growth on state standardized tests (MAP scores), student group achievement and growth, college and career readiness (K-12), attendance and graduation rates. The APR score provides a practical tool for the Board of Education, administrators and teachers to identify strengths and needs in the District.

As we celebrate these accomplishments, we also remain committed to addressing any areas of need revealed by our data. This continuous improvement process is essential in ensuring that every student has access to an equitable, high-quality education.

While we celebrate our success, we also acknowledge the tremendous efforts our neighboring districts have demonstrated as they work to improve outcomes for their students. While we are proud of our efforts at MRH, we are also part of the larger St. Louis education community. Let us model what it looks like to stand together in solidarity, supporting one another for the benefit of all students.

Congratulations to our entire MRH community, students, families, teachers and staff. Your hard work and dedication to learning have made this achievement possible. Together, we will continue to make MRH a place where all students are Supported, Educated, Encouraged, and Nurtured (SEEN).
