Summary

Exeter High is a public high school located in Exeter, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 115 students. The school is part of the Exeter R-VI school district, which is ranked 286 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Exeter High's key strengths is its impressive graduation rates, with a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools of Pierce City High (90.7%), Monett High (95.1%), Purdy High (89.4%), and Wheaton High (90.0%). However, Exeter High's test scores are generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (33.5%) and Biology I (25.8%) significantly below the state averages of 45.4% and 37.3%, respectively.

Another area of concern for Exeter High is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.9% to 15.9% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates at nearby schools like Pierce City High (18.7%), Monett High (15.5%), and Wheaton High (16.7%). Additionally, Exeter High has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.39% to 79.13% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools.
