Best Public Schools in Edina, MO

Summary:

The city of Edina, Missouri is home to two schools: Knox County Elementary and Knox County High, both part of the Knox County R-I school district. While Knox County High has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a high 4-year graduation rate, both schools face challenges related to academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors.

Academically, Knox County Elementary has lower proficiency rates in Mathematics compared to the state average, while Knox County High has mixed performance on state assessments, with 7th and 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency rates closer to the state average, but lower proficiency in Algebra I and Biology I. Both schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 20.2%, which may be an area requiring further intervention.

Socioeconomic factors also play a significant role, with both schools serving a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 57.43% for Knox County Elementary and 61.57% for Knox County High. While spending per student is higher at the high school, the district may need to allocate resources strategically to address the unique challenges faced by these schools and their student populations.
