Pevely is part of the Dunklin R-V School District, created in 1965 through the consolidation of the preexisting public schools there and in neighboring Herculaneum. Pevely Elementary is still included within the city itself, while Herculaneum has the other facilities, Senn-Thomas Middle School and Herculaneum High School.<ref>https://www.greatschools.org/missouri/herculaneum/dunklin-r_v/</ref>

==Community Life==
The city has four main parks: Pevely (City), Ellis Bage, Joe Whaley, and Stacey Reece (the latter named for a local casualty in the [[Vietnam War]]). The city park is the most developed of the four, and hosts most of the organized civic events.<ref>https://www.cityofpevely.org/community/page/city-parks</ref> These events include the Pevely Homecoming Festival, typically held in late August each year and including live entertainment, carnival rides, and a pie-baking contest.
A major attraction in Pevely is the I-55 Raceway, a high-banked dirt racetrack located off Interstate 55 on the city's southern edge. Conducting auto races on Saturday nights from March to September each year, it has occasionally hosted racing celebrities such as [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] and is said to be the largest dirt racetrack in a 100-mile radius.<ref>https://aboutstlouis.com/local/communities/pevely-missouri</ref>
One local item of historical interest is the Gustave Greystone-Meissner House, built in the 1840s and a surviving example of the Gothic Revival architectural style in the United States. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974.<ref>http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/74001078.pdf</ref>
