Summary

Eugene High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Eugene, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 265 students. The school is part of the Cole County R-V school district, which is ranked 216 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Eugene High's strengths is its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.6% to 97.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby Jefferson City High (90.8%) and Capital City High (90.8%). Additionally, Eugene High has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.2% to 13.8% in recent years, compared to the higher rates at Jefferson City High (22.1%) and Capital City High (22.1%). However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra II and Biology I.

While Eugene High has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools, its performance on standardized tests for white students and low-socioeconomic status students is still relatively low, indicating potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 160 out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 282 out of 367 in 2024-2025, suggesting a need for improvement in academic performance. Nearby schools like Blair Oaks High and St. Elizabeth High consistently outperform Eugene High on various metrics, indicating potential opportunities for the school to learn from their practices and strategies.
