Summary

Dixon Elementary is a public elementary school serving 377 students in grades PK-5 in the Dixon R-I school district in Dixon, Missouri. The school is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle range of Missouri elementary schools, while the Dixon R-I district as a whole is ranked 244 out of 367 districts in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5.

One of Dixon Elementary's strengths is its performance with low socioeconomic status (SES) students, often ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools for this metric. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 155 out of 638 Missouri elementary schools for low SES student performance, earning a 4-star rating. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.7% to 25.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and some nearby schools. In terms of academic performance, Dixon Elementary's 3rd-5th grade students generally perform above the state average in mathematics and English language arts, but 5th grade math and science scores have consistently lagged behind.

Comparing Dixon Elementary to nearby schools reveals some interesting findings. Vienna Elementary, a smaller school 15 miles away, has significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates, while Partridge Elementary, part of the higher-performing Waynesville R-VI district, outperforms Dixon Elementary across most grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Iberia Elementary, a similar-sized school 12 miles away, has stronger overall test score performance than Dixon Elementary.
