Summary:
The Potosi R-III school district in Missouri serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools: 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district caters to a predominantly low-income student population, with all schools reporting 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district, Potosi High School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a high 4-year graduation rate of 98%. Meanwhile, John A. Evans Middle School is ranked 113th out of 459 Missouri middle schools, with strong performance in mathematics and English Language Arts. In contrast, Potosi Elementary School had mixed results, with 3rd-grade students performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics.
The district's spending per student ranged from $10,022 to $10,783 in the 2021-2022 school year, with student-teacher ratios between 11.1 and 15.7, suggesting relatively small class sizes. However, the district faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 20% across all schools in the 2023-2024 school year, which requires further investigation and targeted interventions.
