Summary:
The city of Crane, Missouri is home to two schools: Crane Elementary and Crane High, both part of the Crane R-III school district. While the schools serve different grade levels, the data reveals that neither school is a standout performer, with both institutions struggling to meet state academic averages.
Crane Elementary, with an enrollment of 310 students, has a student population that is predominantly white (96.13%) and faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 60.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's test scores in core subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts fall below state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. In contrast, Crane High, with 245 students, has a slightly higher percentage of students from low-income families (42.86%) and also underperforms on state assessments, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.
The data suggests that the Crane school district faces systemic challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Factors such as low academic performance, socioeconomic barriers, and a lack of diversity may be contributing to the struggles faced by both Crane Elementary and Crane High. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and resource allocation could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for students in the Crane community.
