Summary:
The Thayer R-II school district in Missouri operates two schools: Thayer Elementary and Thayer Senior High. The district serves a population with a relatively high rate of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the free and reduced lunch rates at both schools.
Thayer Senior High stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Missouri high schools over the past three years and boasting an impressive 97.8% four-year graduation rate. The school's students also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in several subject areas, particularly in Algebra I, Geometry, and English I end-of-course exams.
While both Thayer Elementary and Thayer Senior High have slightly higher chronic absenteeism rates than the state average, the district's overall spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest a commitment to providing a quality education to its students, despite the socioeconomic challenges they may face.
