Best Public Schools in Fort Leonard Wood, MO

Summary:

The city of Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri is home to three elementary schools that are part of the Waynesville R-VI school district: Partridge Elementary, Wood Elementary, and Thayer Elementary. While the schools share the same district, their performance and characteristics vary significantly.

Thayer Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Missouri with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 60% of 3rd graders and 75.7% of 4th graders proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, compared to 41.1% and 46.3% for the Waynesville R-VI district, respectively.

In contrast, Partridge Elementary and Wood Elementary have more average performance compared to the state. The data also suggests a potential relationship between the schools' socioeconomic factors, such as free and reduced lunch rates, and their academic performance. Additionally, all three schools in the area have high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting student learning and outcomes.
