Puxico R-VIII

Summary:

The Puxico R-VIII school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a technical high school). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rates.

Within the district, Puxico Junior High stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Missouri middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's math and science proficiency rates exceed the state averages. Puxico Elementary also performs well, with math and ELA proficiency rates above the state averages and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Mingo Puxico Technical High stands out as an outlier, with significantly higher spending per student ($42,258 per student) compared to the other schools ($9,188 to $10,021 per student) but lower performance. This raises questions about the school's purpose, curriculum, and resource utilization within the district.
