Minnie Cline Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking between 412 and 606 out of 900-908 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP) is generally below the Savannah R-III district and the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science.
