Best Public Schools in Tipton, MO

Summary:

The city of Tipton, Missouri is home to three schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school - all part of the Tipton R-VI district. While Tipton High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, with a 3-star rating and impressive graduation and proficiency rates, the elementary and middle schools in the district appear to be struggling, with declining performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility.

Tipton Elementary School maintained a 3-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year but dropped to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024, despite relatively high performance in 4th-grade mathematics. Meanwhile, Tipton Middle School has seen a concerning decline, dropping from a 2-star to a 1-star rating over the past two school years, with low proficiency rates in core subjects.

The Tipton R-VI district as a whole is ranked 233 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district may be underperforming compared to others in the state. The high rates of free and reduced lunch eligibility across all three schools, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, indicate that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the overall underperformance.
