High Schools in Appleton City R-II

Summary:

The Appleton City R-II school district in Missouri has only one high school, Appleton City High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 158 students.

Appleton City High School has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 234 out of 367 Missouri high schools in 2024-2025 to 365 out of 468 in 2017-2018. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (8th grade), science (8th grade), and English Language Arts (7th and 8th grades) were significantly lower than the state averages.

Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 38.61% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is often associated with lower academic performance. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $11,599, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 8.6. These factors suggest that the school may need to focus on improving resource allocation and targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population and improve overall academic achievement.
