The Summersville R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Summersville High. While the school boasts a strong four-year graduation rate of 97.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic performance on standardized tests lags behind state benchmarks across various subjects and grade levels.

Summersville High's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 182 out of 361 Missouri high schools in 2021-2022 to 274 out of 378 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, Summersville High serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 36.75% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.3 is lower than the state average, suggesting that the school may be allocating resources effectively to support student learning. However, the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 12.6% indicates that there may be opportunities to improve student engagement and attendance.
