Goodman Elementary is a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 35% of Missouri elementary schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in math and English language arts among the district's elementary schools. George Washington Carver Elementary has also performed well, ranking in the top 22% of Missouri elementary schools in the past 2 years with strong proficiency, especially in English language arts. Meanwhile, Neosho Junior High stands out among the middle schools, ranking in the top 40% of Missouri middle schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools, such as George Washington Carver Elementary and Benton Elementary, have seen their state rankings drop over the past 3 years, indicating a potential decline in performance. Additionally, the district faces high rates of chronic absenteeism and significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
