Exeter R-VI

The Exeter R-VI school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Exeter Elementary and Exeter High. Both schools have consistently performed poorly on statewide assessments and rankings, with proficiency rates significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Exeter Elementary and Exeter High have ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri schools, with Exeter Elementary ranked around 720-780 out of 900+ elementary schools and Exeter High ranked 276 out of 352 high schools. Both schools also have high chronic absenteeism rates of 7.9%, well above the state average. Additionally, the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with free and reduced lunch rates of 65.28% at Exeter Elementary and 71.28% at Exeter High.

Despite higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools in the Exeter R-VI district continue to struggle to achieve better academic outcomes. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and address the systemic challenges facing the schools.
