Attendance Rate 90/90

33%

Schools strive to have at least 90% of their students achieve a 90% attendance rate because kids learn best when they’re in school.

In 2019, 87.3% of Missouri students were in attendance at least 90% of the time, source.

Student Outcomes

“We chose Crossroads Charter Schools for being schools that focus on building a strong sense of community; schools where my children are immersed in and interact with a thriving downtown business district. Crossroads Schools have nurtured in Nina and Emilio a strong sense of civic engagement and social responsibility. Our schools have also helped them develop positive feelings of belonging, empowerment and cultural identity. And to me, having them in schools where parent involvement is critical to their academic progress and to building community is of utmost importance.” – Christy Moreno
