Best Public Schools in Pevely, MO

Summary:

The city of Pevely, Missouri has one public elementary school, Pevely Elementary, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Dunklin R-V school district and has a total enrollment of 708 students, with a predominantly white student population (87.15%).

Pevely Elementary's academic performance has been a concern, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between 2 and 3 out of 5 stars in recent years. The school's proficiency rates on Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are consistently lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, where the 3rd-grade proficiency rate was 27.2% compared to the state average of 41.1%. This underperformance on standardized tests suggests that Pevely Elementary students may be struggling to meet grade-level academic standards.

Additionally, Pevely Elementary serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could be an area for further investigation. However, the school does have a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3, which could indicate smaller class sizes and potentially more personalized attention for students.
