Summary:
The city of Potosi, Missouri is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Potosi R-III school district. The standout schools in this area include Potosi High School, which is consistently ranked in the top half of Missouri high schools, and John A. Evans Middle School, which has been in the top quarter of Missouri middle schools for the past 3 years.
Academically, the elementary and intermediate schools in Potosi are performing exceptionally well, with students at Potosi Elementary and Trojan Intermediate significantly outperforming state averages in both Math and English Language Arts. However, the middle school has seen mixed results, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining academic achievement as students progress through the grades.
A notable characteristic of the Potosi schools is the high poverty level, with 100% of students across all 4 schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This indicates significant economic challenges in the community, which may impact the schools' resources and the support available for students. Despite these challenges, the Potosi schools are spending more per student than the state average, reflecting the district's commitment to providing quality education for its students.
