Summary:
The city of Lilbourn, Missouri is home to a single school, Lilbourn Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 236 students. Lilbourn Elementary is part of the New Madrid County R-I School District.
Lilbourn Elementary has a diverse student population, with 47.03% white, 36.86% African American, 5.51% Hispanic, and 10.59% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, Lilbourn Elementary had a 16.7% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 41.1%. Additionally, 100% of Lilbourn Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite having a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.5, which is better than the district average, and spending $13,979 per student, which is higher than the state average, Lilbourn Elementary's academic performance has been consistently low. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 776 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 839 out of 898 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school is falling further behind its peers in terms of academic achievement, and significant interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.
