Overall, the data suggests that Eldon High School and Eldon Middle School are the standout performers in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Missouri schools in their respective categories over the past 3 years.
Eldon High School, ranked 24th out of 352 Missouri high schools, stands out with its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 40.24%. The school also spends the most per student at $11,182, potentially indicating additional resources and support.

Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 92.47% to 95.72%, with relatively low representation of minority students. The free and reduced lunch rates are also high, ranging from 33.33% at Dogwood Hills School to 50.59% at Eldon Upper Elementary, suggesting a significant population of students from low-income families. The Eldon R-I district may need to explore ways to address these equity and diversity challenges to ensure an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students.
