Dixon R-I

Summary:

The Dixon R-I school district in Missouri operates three schools: Dixon Elementary, Dixon High, and Dixon Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Dixon Elementary is the standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 40% of Missouri elementary schools and outperforming the state average in mathematics and English language arts proficiency. In contrast, Dixon High and Dixon Middle have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri schools in their respective categories and underperforming the state average in key academic areas.

Across the district, there is a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the secondary schools. Additionally, the district's per-student spending varies, with Dixon Elementary and Dixon High spending slightly more than Dixon Middle, suggesting a potential imbalance in resource allocation that may be contributing to the performance disparities across the district.
