Moniteau Junior/Senior High School

Moniteau is not the best school for students. Bullying is a major problem, many faculty members just don't care about their students.

A step above an inner-city school. I attended Moniteau coming from a wealthier family within the area. THe school's school is meeting standards, not educating and going beyond the scope of precedent. Advising is THE single worst element of the high school. Upon graduation I am attending a nationally top rated university, on my own merit. The advising program gave little inclination to what classes would benefit me, how SATs & ACTs measured activity, how to prepare for AP exams and I was clueless as to what an SAT2 was upon graduation. Teachers came from the area, and taught to the area mostly with the goal of community college or tech school..

Super High school. My daughter, stepdaughter, and stepson, all have graduated from this school.Teachers, administrators and the facility have always strived to be top notch. This area is mainly farm country and can use extra money not generated in an area with more industry.

Moniteau is a small school out in the country that cares very little about the childrens education. They focus more on sports than anything else. I run into an issue where my child was not aloud to participate in the Nationwide Holiday of 'take your child to work day' because she would be punished and not aloud to play her game that night, but, a child can go to school on the day of game day and get in trouble, serve their 'in school detention' and still participate in the game that night. What is that teaching our children? And the peer pressure in this school is horrible. The drugs arent quite as bad as some other schools but they are there. There are some teachers in this school that will tell you that they are there for a paycheck only and they really dont care if the students learn or not.

Moniteau is a non-diverse school that does place to much emphasis on sports and not enough on education. Although, they did have a wonderful agricultural education program until the teacher retired. Moniteau needs to place more emphasise on acedemics and their agriculture program.

Moniteau is a rural school that places too much emphasis on sports. With the introduction of the AP courses, Moniteau is beginning to challenge its students. There is a mix of dedicated teachers and some that ought to have retired long ago. Highlights for this school include the high school Science department, the English department, the music department and the Home Economics department. I was unhappy with the history department which for two years amounted to little more than a handwriting class. My Senior year of History however, was taught by a wonderful teacher Mr. Milo. What this school needs is a refocus on academic and the arts and less focus on sports. As far as small schools go, this was one with little to no peer pressures. I was never scared or worried about peer issues at this school.
