Best Public Schools in Peculiar, MO


Summary:

The city of Peculiar, Missouri is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Raymore-Peculiar Senior High, Raymore-Peculiar South Middle, and Peculiar Elementary. While the schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, they maintain respectable 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and exhibit both strengths and areas for improvement.

Raymore-Peculiar Senior High stands out for its strong 92.3% four-year graduation rate, but its test scores are mixed, with below-average performance in Algebra I but stronger results in English II and Algebra II. Raymore-Peculiar South Middle also saw a decline in its statewide ranking, but it maintains a 3-star rating and has exceptional Algebra I proficiency, outperforming the district and state averages. Peculiar Elementary has the highest free/reduced lunch rate among the three schools, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to its lower test scores compared to the other schools.

Across the district, all three schools share a 16.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which is a concern and may impact student learning and academic performance. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Raymore-Peculiar South Middle and Raymore-Peculiar Senior High compared to Peculiar Elementary suggests a need to examine resource allocation and ensure equitable funding across the Raymore-Peculiar R-II district.
