Summary:
The Dixon R-I school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Dixon Elementary, Dixon High, and Dixon Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Dixon Elementary stands out as a relative bright spot, consistently ranking in the top 40% of Missouri elementary schools and outperforming the state average in several key test score metrics. In contrast, Dixon High and Dixon Middle face more significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in many subjects. However, the high school has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating over the past 3 years.
Across all three schools, the district faces some concerning issues, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic outcomes. The district's overall ranking of 244 out of 386 in Missouri indicates room for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could help drive better performance, especially at the middle and high school levels.
