Understanding the 9/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Park Hill School District 9 out of 10 — top-tier among Missouri public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection. We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Missouri is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Park Hill School District ranks among the highest-performing public school districts in Missouri on state assessments, with reading and math proficiency rates in roughly the top 10–20% statewide.
