Top rankedMexico High269^th of 367 Missouri high schools

Summary:

The 65265 zip code in Missouri is home to a single high school, Mexico High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Mexico 59 school district. Based on the available data, Mexico High School does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 269 out of 367 Missouri high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a concern, with test scores consistently falling below the state average in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, English II, Algebra II, and Government. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.9%, which may contribute to its academic struggles. However, the school does have a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 92.9%, slightly above the state average, and a low dropout rate of 1.2%.

The data also suggests that Mexico High School serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 50.66% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage may require the school to provide additional resources and support to its students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.2 students per teacher is also slightly higher than the state average, which could make it more difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support.
