Summary:
The city of Macon, Missouri is home to three public schools: Macon Elementary, Macon Senior High, and Macon Middle School, all part of the Macon County R-I school district. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the local community.
Among the standout schools, Macon Senior High ranks 138 out of 378 Missouri high schools and boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's impressive 90.8% graduation rate and low 1.4% dropout rate, along with its exceptional performance in Algebra II, where 80.8% of students are proficient or better, significantly exceeding the state average of 57.5%, are particularly noteworthy. Macon Middle School also stands out, ranking 197 out of 451 Missouri middle schools with a 3-star rating, and excelling in 6th and 7th grade mathematics, as well as Algebra I, where the proficiency rate reaches an impressive 95%.
While Macon Elementary generally performs below the state averages in mathematics and English Language Arts, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3% across all three schools is an area of concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions. The varying free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 29.91% at Macon Senior High to 46.3% at Macon Elementary, suggest differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations, which may impact academic outcomes and resource allocation.
