Best Public Schools in Fair Grove, MO

Summary:

The city of Fair Grove, Missouri is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Fair Grove Elementary, Fair Grove High, and Fair Grove Middle, all part of the Fair Grove R-X school district.

Among the three schools, Fair Grove Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking 47th out of 438 Missouri middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts consistently high test scores, with over 64% of 6th and 7th graders proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, and impressive science proficiency as well. In contrast, Fair Grove High School maintains a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97.8% and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.4%, suggesting strong student outcomes at the high school level.

However, the district as a whole faces the challenge of high chronic absenteeism, with all three schools reporting a rate of 14.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, higher than the state average. Additionally, there appears to be a funding disparity, as Fair Grove Middle School spends significantly less per student than the other two schools in the district. Overall, the data highlights the strengths and areas for improvement within the Fair Grove school system, providing valuable insights for parents and the community.
