Summary:
The city of Elsberry, Missouri is home to 3 public schools serving grades K-12, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture for the Elsberry school district, with Elsberry High School standing out as the strongest performer, while the elementary and middle schools face challenges in academic achievement.
Clarence Cannon Elementary and Ida Cannon Middle both have relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments, with Clarence Cannon Elementary's performance declining in recent years. These lower-performing schools also have higher rates of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch rates. In contrast, Elsberry High School stands out with a higher statewide ranking, 4-star rating, and lower free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting a more affluent student population.
Overall, the Elsberry R-II district as a whole is ranked 205 out of 376 districts in Missouri and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement. The district's challenges in providing quality education to its students, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, suggest the need for further investigation and potential interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic performance gaps.
