Best Public Schools in Seymour, MO


Summary:

The city of Seymour, Missouri is home to three public schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school - all part of the Seymour R-II school district. While the middle and high schools have performed reasonably well, with rankings in the top half of Missouri schools, the elementary school has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of the state.

Seymour Middle School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 141 out of 451 Missouri middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excelled on MAP tests, with over 45% of students proficient or better in Math and Science. In contrast, Seymour Elementary had lower-than-average proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts across grades 3-5. Seymour High School also performed well, ranking 188 out of 378 Missouri high schools and maintaining a strong 87.1% four-year graduation rate.

A common challenge across all three Seymour schools is the high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 34.94% at Seymour Middle to 39.48% at Seymour Elementary. This suggests the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 18.5%, which could further contribute to the academic performance issues observed, particularly at the elementary level.
