Summary:
The Appleton City R-II school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Appleton City High School and Appleton City Elementary School. While the high school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, both schools face challenges in areas such as chronic absenteeism and academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts.
