Best Public Schools in Bernie, MO

Summary:

The city of Bernie, Missouri is home to two schools - Bernie Elementary and Bernie High - which are part of the Bernie R-XIII school district. Based on the available data, Bernie Elementary appears to be a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top quarter of Missouri elementary schools and significantly outpacing state averages on test scores.

In contrast, Bernie High School's performance is more mixed, with test scores below state averages in some areas, indicating room for improvement at the high school level. However, the Bernie R-XIII school district as a whole is a high-performing district, ranking 19th out of 386 in the state, which likely contributes to the success of the individual schools within the district.

Both schools have higher per-student spending compared to state averages, which may be a factor in their academic performance. Additionally, the high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools point to a student population with significant economic challenges, yet the schools are still able to achieve strong results, particularly at the elementary level.
