Summary:

The city of Herculaneum, Missouri is home to three schools: Herculaneum High, Senn-Thomas Middle, and Taylor Early Childhood, all part of the Dunklin R-V school district. While Herculaneum High stands out as a top-performing school in the state, the other two schools face some challenges in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors.

Herculaneum High is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Missouri and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students perform above the state average in most subject areas, and it has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 44.17%. In contrast, Senn-Thomas Middle and Taylor Early Childhood have lower statewide rankings and their test scores are generally below the state average.

The schools in Herculaneum also face challenges related to racial diversity and socioeconomic factors. The student populations are relatively homogeneous, with the majority of students being white. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at Taylor Early Childhood (88.46%), suggest that the community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact the schools' ability to provide resources and support for their students.
