Summary

Mound City High School is a public high school in Mound City, Missouri, serving 85 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Mound City R-II school district. The school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, which have remained at 100% in recent years, significantly outpacing nearby schools like North Andrew High (100%), Fairfax High (100%), Nodaway-Holt Middle School/High School (87.5%), and South Holt High (100%).

However, Mound City High's academic performance on standardized tests, such as the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program), lags behind the state average, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (37.6%) and Biology I (23.6%) falling short of the state averages of 45.4% and 37.3%, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 6.5% to 12.8% in recent years, which is generally lower than nearby schools but still an area of concern.

While Mound City High's graduation rates are impressive, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 96 out of 528 Missouri high schools in 2010-2011 to a more recent ranking of 237 out of 367 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's per-student spending has increased in recent years, from $11,981 in 2018-2019 to $14,896 in 2021-2022, which may be an effort to address these challenges and improve the overall quality of education for all students.
