Nixa Public Schools operates four elementary schools for students in kindergarten through fourth grade: Mathews, Espy, Century, and the newest, High Pointe (named so because it sits on the highest elevation in Christian County), opened in August 2007. Also, two intermediate schools serve students in the fifth and sixth grades—Inman and Summit; one junior high school and one high school, are in the district. Also, a magnet school hosts kindergarten through 6th grade – John Thomas School of Discovery.
The Nixa school district is widely considered one of the best in Missouri, receiving the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Distinction in Performance Award for each of the last five years.[4] In its Missouri Assessment Program, Nixa Junior High placed fifth in the state in science, eighth in math, and 18th in English. The high school was ranked fourth in the state for high academic performance.[4]
