Sherwood Elementary and Lone Dell Elementary are also high-performing, ranking 148 and 161 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools, respectively, and earning 4-star ratings.
While the district's middle and high schools show relatively consistent performance, the elementary schools exhibit more variation in their test scores and rankings. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 22.9% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. The district also exhibits significant variation in spending per student, from $8,914 at Fox Senior High to $13,663 at Richard Simpson Elementary, which may be an area for further investigation.
