Horrible high school went here my sophomore year. Only had a couple good teachers, extremely cliquish, especially the Ag department. Most teachers pick favorite, and the students are extremely rude. Do not send your kid here.

A very average school that does nothing spectacular while doing nothing terribly either. One huge drawback is the lack of upper level courses offered. Only two AP courses were offered when I attended (graduated 2017), while there are some dual credit courses offered. If your child is average then Mt. Vernon is a fine school for them. However, if your child is gifted I highly recommend sending them to another school, as Mt. Vernon can not give them the tools other schools can to reach their full potential.

The Mt.Vernon Missouri is my hometown. I have lived here for a many many years and still do and never once have I thought that this school district is terrible. Yeah I was bullied ,wasn't everyone the victim or the bully, yeah the food stinks but you know what this school is amazing and if I had a choice if my parents had to leave because of their work than I would rather live at the boy and girls home because I cannont leave this place. If you think this school isn't good enough for your kids then put them in a different school and don't complain about it. I love Mt.Vernon,MO and I can't wait till I graduate!! Thank you soo much for reading this review and I hope you wrote one too!
