Welcome to the Lathrop R-II School District

Welcome to the Lathrop R-II School's website. Thank You for checking us out!
Our Mission is to develop character and educate all students to achieve lifetime success using high expectations, relevant experiences, and caring relationships. In our schools, our community or on the playing field, we expect our students to score in the top of the state in academics, as well as in activities. In recent years we've had ACT scores over 30, Academic All-State Softball Players, All-State Football Players, State Wrestling Champions, State Track Champions, State FFA Degree winners, a State Championship Softball Team, Poetry Out Loud state contest qualifiers, National Forensics Tournament Qualifiers, State Solo and Ensemble qualifiers, a Superior Band Rating, an Excellent Vocal Music Rating, State FFA Degree winners, Trap Shooting Champions and the list goes on.
Our website, like our staff, is here to help you so if you can't find what you're looking for or need more information, please do not hesitate to give us a call, or stop by any of our schools. You're always welcome!!
Again, please call, email, or stop by if you have any comments, questions, or concerns, and as always...GO MULES!!
