RISCO HIGH SCHOOL
RISCO HIGH is a Title I public high school that is part of the RISCO R-II school district, located in RISCO, MO with about 69 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
RISCO HIGH School, located on Highway 62 in Risco, Missouri, serves as the educational hub for the small community in New Madrid County. As part of the Risco R-II School District, the school functions as a tight-knit institution that emphasizes a supportive environment where faculty and staff are closely involved in the academic and personal development of their students. Given the school’s rural setting, it plays a vital role in the local culture, often acting as a focal point for community engagement and extracurricular activities.
Academically, the school focuses on providing essential secondary education designed to prepare students for post-secondary opportunities or the local workforce. While it operates on a smaller scale compared to larger urban districts, RISCO HIGH offers a personalized learning experience that allows for smaller class sizes and more direct interaction between students and teachers.
