High Schools in Montgomery County R-II

Summary:

The Montgomery County R-II school district in Missouri has only one high school, Montgomery County High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 334 students. The school has a strong 97.5% four-year graduation rate, but its academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with below-average scores in Algebra I and above-average scores in English II.

Montgomery County High School faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1% and a significant percentage (43.41%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 119th out of 352 schools in 2022-2023 to 242nd out of 378 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in overall performance.

Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1 and the district spends $11,959 per student, which may indicate that resources are being allocated effectively to support student learning. The school's performance on the Biology I assessment is on par with the district and state averages, suggesting that there are areas of academic strength that the school can build upon to improve overall outcomes for its students.
