Summary:
The Montgomery County R-II school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance across the schools.
Montgomery County High School stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 97.5% and the lowest dropout rate at 1.3%.

In contrast, Jonesburg Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science, with 66.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district average of 47.4% and the state average of 43.8%.
The district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools having a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.41% at Montgomery County High to 53.17% at Montgomery City Elementary. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the district's struggles in raising test scores and improving academic performance across the board.
