Summary:
The East Newton County R-VI school district in Missouri serves students from preschool through 12th grade across three schools: two elementary schools (Granby and Triway) and one high school (East Newton High).
East Newton High School stands out as the district's top performer, ranking 160 out of 367 Missouri high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a strong 94.3% four-year graduation rate and performs well on end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 47.8% in Algebra I to 53.4% in English II. In contrast, the district's elementary schools, Granby and Triway, struggle to meet state proficiency levels in mathematics and English Language Arts, with Triway outperforming Granby in most academic areas.
Across the district, high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 58.64% at East Newton High to 73.27% at Triway Elementary, suggest significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%, which exceeds the state average, could be linked to these socioeconomic factors and may require targeted interventions. Overall, the East Newton County R-VI district has room for improvement, with a ranking of 198 out of 367 in Missouri and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
