This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri middle schools, with low performance ratings and academic proficiency rates below the state averages. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Mexico Middle School has ranked 323 out of 451 middle schools in Missouri for the 2023-2024 school year, 312 out of 459 in 2022-2023, and 292 out of 459 in 2021-2022.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 99.8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that Mexico Middle School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation is needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to improve the school's performance.
