John Thomas School of Discovery and High Pointe Elementary are also standout elementary schools, ranking 32nd and 43rd out of 900 Missouri elementary schools, respectively, with strong test scores.

While the Nixa Public Schools district as a whole is performing exceptionally well, there is a range in performance and demographics across the individual schools. The district invests heavily in its schools, with spending per student ranging from $9,101 to $10,678, higher than the state average. However, the district also faces challenges, such as a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.1% across all schools, which is an area the district may want to address. Overall, the Nixa Public Schools district appears to be a high-performing district with several standout schools, but there are also opportunities for improvement to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
