Best Public Schools in Ste Genevieve, MO

Summary:

The city of Ste Genevieve, Missouri is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Ste. Genevieve Elementary, Ste. Genevieve Senior High, and Ste. Genevieve Middle, all part of the Ste. Genevieve County R-II school district.

Among these schools, Ste. Genevieve Elementary and Ste. Genevieve Middle stand out, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Missouri schools in their respective categories over the past 3 years. Both schools have earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance. In contrast, Ste. Genevieve Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 81st in 2022-2023 to 128th in 2023-2024, and its academic performance in some subject areas, such as Algebra I and Biology I, is below the state average.

Across the district, students at the elementary and middle school levels generally outperform the state and district averages in Math and English Language Arts, while the high school has mixed results. Attendance and graduation rates are also strong, with Ste. Genevieve Senior High boasting a 92.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. However, the district faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools and variations in spending per student, which may indicate a need for more equitable resource allocation, particularly at the elementary school level where the percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients is the highest.
