Tipton R-VI

Summary:

The Tipton R-VI school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Tipton Elementary, Tipton High, and Tipton Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Tipton High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with a strong 97.8% four-year graduation rate and a ranking of 182 out of 378 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024. Tipton Elementary School also shows promise, with its students outperforming the state average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade math and ELA proficiency rates in 2024-2025. However, Tipton Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, with consistently low test scores and a low statewide ranking.

Across all three schools, the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.5% in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Additionally, the significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student across the schools may indicate differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations and the allocation of resources within the district. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the Tipton R-VI school district, with some areas of strength and others that require further attention and improvement.
