Summary:
The Mt. Vernon R-V school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools serving grades K-12: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the district is ranked 110th out of 386 districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively strong and consistent performance across the schools.
Mount Vernon High School stands out as the top performer in the district, ranking 63rd out of 378 Missouri high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 94.3% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and strong academic performance, with over 45% of students proficient or better in core subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and English II. In contrast, Mount Vernon Middle School performed well on Algebra I assessments but struggled in other subject areas compared to state averages.
Across the district, the schools serve a population with relatively low socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 36.9% at Mount Vernon High to 53.25% at Mount Vernon Intermediate. This factor may contribute to the district's overall performance and the variations observed between the schools. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2% across all four schools is an area of concern that the district may need to address.
