Summary:
The Mt. Vernon R-V school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Mount Vernon High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 460 students.
Mount Vernon High School has a 40.87% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with strong results in Biology I but weaker performance in Algebra I, where the proficiency rate (17.1%) is significantly lower than the district (31.3%) and state (45.4%) averages. However, the school boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 94.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%, suggesting it is effectively supporting students to complete their high school education.
While the school's overall performance is generally strong, it faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2%, which is higher than the ideal target. The school's per-student spending of $9,691 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4 suggest it has adequate resources and a relatively low class size. To address its areas for improvement, the school may need to focus on enhancing math instruction and support, as well as implementing strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism and better align with district and state standards.
