Summary:
The Excelsior Springs 40 School District in Missouri serves 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district's schools serve a predominantly white student population, with some diversity at Excelsior Springs Technical High, which has a significant African American and Hispanic student body.
Elkhorn Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with strong proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts that exceed the district and state averages. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools. In contrast, Excelsior Springs Technical High serves a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 95.08%. Despite its low overall ranking, the school has a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 3.5, which could be a strength.
The district as a whole appears to be struggling, with most schools performing below the state averages in academic proficiency. This suggests a need for further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to the district's performance. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student across the schools, with Excelsior Springs Technical High receiving the lowest funding, raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the Excelsior Springs 40 School District.
