Elementary Schools in Montgomery County R-II

Summary:

The Montgomery County R-II school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Montgomery City Elementary and Jonesburg Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face similar challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively low-income student populations.

While both schools are underperforming the state averages in several key test score metrics, particularly in English Language Arts, Jonesburg Elementary has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 0 stars in 2022-2023 to 2 stars in 2024-2025. This suggests the school is making progress and could be a school to watch. Additionally, Jonesburg Elementary has outperformed the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, particularly in 4th grade math and 5th grade math.

Both Montgomery City Elementary and Jonesburg Elementary have high chronic absenteeism rates, at 16.1%, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a low-income student population. Addressing these challenges, such as through targeted support and resources for students, could be key focus areas for improvement in the Montgomery County R-II district.
