Eldon R-I

The Eldon R-I school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 40.24% at Eldon High School to 50.59% at Eldon Upper Elementary.

Eldon High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 39th out of 378 Missouri high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.0% and consistently outperforms the state average in End of Course (EOC) test scores for Algebra I, Biology I, and English I. In contrast, Eldon Upper Elementary ranks 315th out of 906 Missouri elementary schools, with a 3-star rating, and demonstrates mixed performance on 3rd-5th grade MAP tests, exceeding the state average in some subject areas but falling below in others.

The performance of Eldon Middle School is generally on par with or slightly below the state average across grades and subjects, while South Elementary did not have any available data on its statewide ranking or test scores, suggesting potential differences in the quality of education and resources between the two elementary schools within the district. The high rates of economic disadvantage across the schools in the Eldon R-I district may present unique challenges and considerations for the district in terms of resource allocation and supporting student needs.
