Mexico 59

The Mexico 59 School District in Missouri serves 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with schools generally performing below state averages on standardized tests and serving a student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.

Among the standout schools, Hawthorne Elementary has the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest statewide ranking among the district's elementary schools. Eugene Field Elementary also outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics. However, the district's other elementary school, McMillan Early Learning Center, appears to be struggling, with lower academic performance compared to its peers.

Across the Mexico 59 School District, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates. The district's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are well below state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools' statewide rankings have been declining in recent years, further highlighting the need for the district to address systemic issues and implement strategies to enhance educational quality for all students.
