Summary

Morgan County R-I High is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Stover, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 429 students. The school is part of the Morgan County R-I District, which is ranked 151 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's key strengths is its consistently high graduation rate, which has remained at 100% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Lincoln High, Otterville High, and Tipton High. However, the school has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 15.8% to 19.1% in recent years, higher than the state average and nearby schools.

While Morgan County R-I High's test scores in various subjects and grade levels are generally lower than the state averages, the school has shown exceptional performance among its low-socioeconomic status students, consistently ranking among the top Missouri high schools in this subgroup. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting its most vulnerable students, despite the overall academic challenges it faces. To continue improving, the school may benefit from examining the practices and strategies of its higher-performing neighbors, such as Smithton High and Cole Camp High, to identify opportunities for growth.
