Summary:
The city of Lake St. Louis, Missouri is home to two high-performing elementary schools, Duello Elementary and Green Tree Elementary, both part of the Wentzville R-IV school district. These schools consistently rank in the top 33% of Missouri elementary schools, with Duello Elementary currently ranked 153 out of 906 schools and Green Tree Elementary ranked 144.
Both schools excel academically, outperforming the district and state averages in the majority of MAP test subjects and grade levels. Duello Elementary stands out with particularly high proficiency rates in 3rd grade mathematics and 5th grade science, while Green Tree Elementary excels in 5th grade mathematics and English Language Arts. The schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios of around 14:1, indicating small class sizes.
However, the schools serve student populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the difference in their free and reduced lunch rates. Duello Elementary has a very low rate of 2.95%, while Green Tree Elementary has a higher rate of 19.64%. This diversity provides valuable insights into the factors that contribute to the schools' academic success. Additionally, both schools have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5%, which could be an area for further investigation and targeted interventions.
