Summary

Farmington Senior High is a public high school serving 1,325 students in grades 9-12 in Farmington, Missouri, which is part of the Farmington R-VII School District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 50-100 high schools in Missouri, with a current ranking of 127 out of 367 schools, and its performance on state assessments is generally above the state average, particularly in subjects like Algebra II and Government.

However, Farmington Senior High faces some challenges, including below-average performance on Algebra I and Biology I assessments and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.7% to 27.7% in recent years. The school's graduation rate, which has ranged from 87.5% to 94.6% over the past few years, is generally higher than the state average, and its dropout rate is relatively low, ranging from 1.3% to 2.9% in recent years.
