High Schools in Mexico 59


Summary:

The Mexico 59 school district in Missouri has only one high school, Mexico High, which serves grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 300 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mexico High has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past 3 school years, with a 1-2 star rating. The school's test scores are notably lower than the state and district averages, particularly in core subjects like Algebra, Biology, and Government. However, the school maintains a strong 92.9% four-year graduation rate, suggesting they are able to support students in completing their high school education despite the academic challenges.

With over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Mexico High serves a high-need population, which could contribute to the school's lower academic performance. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.9%, which may also be a factor in the lower test scores and outcomes. Overall, the data suggests Mexico High is an underperforming school within the Mexico 59 district and the state of Missouri, with room for improvement in academic achievement and student outcomes.
