Summary:
The Neelyville R-IV school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Neelyville High, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.6, its overall performance has been declining in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 208th out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 303rd out of 367 in 2024-2025.
Neelyville High's academic performance is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were lower than the state averages in Algebra I, Biology I, Algebra II, and Geometry. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6%, which is higher than the state average. These factors contribute to the school's overall 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in Missouri.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the high percentage of students (56.83%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school is serving a population with significant economic challenges, which could impact academic performance. Overall, Neelyville High appears to be a relatively low-performing school in the state, and the district may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
