MANES R-V

Located along Highway 95 in Mountain Grove, Missouri, the Manes R-V School District serves as an active, open public school district rooted in a rural remote community setting. Operating as a traditional public district centered around a single school site, Manes R-V provides foundational education for local children from prekindergarten through eighth grade. This structure allows the district to focus its resources entirely on early childhood and elementary-to-middle school development, establishing a comprehensive learning environment before students transition to surrounding high schools.

According to federal data for the 2024–2025 academic year, the district maintains an intimate educational setting with an enrollment of 41 students across all grade levels. To support this small student body, Manes R-V maintains a well-resourced workforce that includes approximately 19 full-time equivalent teaching positions alongside instructional aides and essential support staff. This exceptionally high ratio of staff to students ensures that children at the district's 8939 Highway 95 campus receive focused, highly individualized attention, making it a compelling option for local families and a unique case study for researchers interested in rural educational delivery.
