Summary:
The El Dorado Springs, Missouri school district consists of three schools: El Dorado Springs Elementary, El Dorado Springs High, and El Dorado Springs Middle. While the district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, the schools in this area are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with no clear standout schools.
Across the three schools, student enrollment ranges from 244 at the middle school to 580 at the elementary school. The student population is predominantly white, with minority representation as low as 2.87% at the high school. Academically, the schools struggle, with proficiency rates in core subjects like math, science, and English language arts well below state averages. The elementary school stands out with an extremely high free and reduced lunch rate of 99.48%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by students in the district.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and above-average spending per student, the El Dorado Springs R-II district is not seeing the desired academic outcomes. This suggests that the issue may not be solely about resource allocation, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. Addressing the systemic challenges within the district will be crucial to improving the quality of education for students in El Dorado Springs.
