Summary:
The city of Republic, Missouri is home to a high-performing school district, the Republic R-III district, which includes 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is excelling, with all of its schools ranking in the top quartile or top half of Missouri schools.
Several schools stand out in the district, including Sweeny Elementary, which ranks among the top 34 elementary schools in the state and has consistently high test scores, and Republic High, which ranks among the top 36 high schools in Missouri and has a very high 4-year graduation rate of 96.3%. The district's middle school, Republic Middle, also impresses with 97% of students scoring proficient or better on the Algebra I end-of-course exam.
While the district overall is performing well, there are some equity concerns, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 28.63% at the Early Childhood Center to 46.3% at Lyon Elementary. Additionally, there may be room for improvement at the high school level, where test scores, while still strong, are not quite as high as the elementary and middle school levels.
