Summary

Montgomery County High is a public high school in Montgomery City, Missouri, serving 334 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Montgomery County R-II School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montgomery County High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 107 out of 460 schools in 2018-2019 (4-star rating) to 242 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). This performance is generally lower than the nearby Hermann High School, which has maintained a 3-star rating. However, the school has strong graduation rates, comparable to nearby schools like Community High and Wellsville-Middletown High School.

One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has reached as high as 29.5%, significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Montgomery County High's test scores, as measured by the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), are generally lower than the state and district averages, though the school performs better in some subjects. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.5% to 43.41%, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school has shown some strengths, such as its high graduation rates and better-than-average performance in certain subject areas, suggesting the potential for improvement with targeted interventions and support.
