The city of Dittmer, Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Maple Grove Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Northwest R-I School District. Maple Grove Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Missouri with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Maple Grove Elementary excels, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts that exceed both the district and state averages. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is the second-best in the district, suggesting a relatively small class size that can benefit student learning. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white, at 95.44%, which may indicate a lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the Dittmer community.

This highlights the importance of equitable funding and resources to support students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, as the school's strong academic performance suggests it is effectively allocating its resources to provide a quality education to all its students.
