Summary:

The 65708 zip code is home to a single high school, Monett High, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Monett R-I District. While Monett High has a strong 95.1% four-year graduation rate, it faces some academic challenges, with mixed performance on state assessments compared to state averages. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 60.35% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Monett High's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from 126 out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 to 135 out of 378 in 2023-2024, and is currently ranked 183 out of 367 for the 2024-2025 school year. The school performs better in English II (54.7% proficient or better) but lags behind in Algebra I (30.7%), Biology I (28.5%), and Government (38.4%). Additionally, Monett High has a concerning 15.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Monett High appears to be committed to providing a quality education, as evidenced by its higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,255 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.3, which is slightly lower than the state average. By focusing on improving academic outcomes, particularly in core subjects, and addressing the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, Monett High can work towards becoming a more consistently high-performing institution that serves the local community.
