High Point R-Iii School District

High Point R-III School District, doing business as High Point Elementary School, is a U.S. local government entity and public school district in California, Missouri that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient and as a sub-recipient under state education department pass-throughs. The district does not compete for federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem, serving two federal customer agencies over a footprint of 31 awards spanning 2022 through 2026.

The district's federal grant work centers on K–12 education funding administered through the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. As a prime recipient, High Point has drawn five Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants dated July 2022 through July 2026, with completion dates ranging from September 2023 through September 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district has received pass-through funding from Missouri's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education under Title I Part A (Educationally Deprived), the Child Nutrition Program Block Grant (CNP Block), the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER), and the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER). The most recent sub-award, dated July 22, 2026, was a CNP Block Grant allocation from the state education department. Combined obligations across all prime and sub awards total $1.3 million over the five-year window.

Activity has been modest and uneven—three awards in 2022, four in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026—reflecting the predictable rhythm of annual K–12 education formula grant distributions rather than competitive procurement. The district's prime-to-sub split stands at 55% prime awards and 45% sub awards, with the sub-award volume driven by state pass-through allocations representing the majority of federal funding reaching the school. Only one award faces completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, recurring grant flows with minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 97% of the district's award count, while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service holds a smaller footprint of four awards related to child nutrition programs.
