Summary:
The city of Ellsinore, Missouri is home to three public schools serving grades K-12, all part of the East Carter County R-II school district. Among these schools, East Carter County R-II Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking among the top 25% of elementary schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
East Carter County R-II Elementary boasts impressive academic achievements, with test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly exceeding the state averages. In contrast, the district's middle and high schools have more mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others below. Across all three schools, the student population is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of other racial groups, which may be an area for further investigation.
Economically, the schools serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients. However, the district appears to allocate resources effectively, with relatively low student-teacher ratios that may contribute to the academic success at the elementary level. As the district continues to support its students, exploring the factors behind the performance differences between the schools could lead to valuable insights and opportunities for improvement.
