Summary:
The city of Montgomery City, Missouri is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Montgomery County High, Montgomery City Elementary, and Montgomery County Middle. These schools are part of the Montgomery County R-II district, which is ranked 275 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1 out of 5 star rating.
Among the standout schools, Montgomery County High has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.5% and a lower dropout rate of 1.3%. The school also performs better on some End of Course exams, such as 61.3% proficiency in English II. In contrast, Montgomery City Elementary stands out with relatively higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd-5th grades compared to the district and state averages, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1%.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, with all 3 schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. Additionally, the schools generally perform below the state averages on End of Course exams, and they have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 42.7% at Montgomery County High to 49.01% at Montgomery City Elementary. Addressing the consistent chronic absenteeism and the declining performance at the high school level could be important areas of focus for the district.
