Summary:
The city of Pevely, Missouri has only one public school, Pevely Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Dunklin R-V school district. While Pevely Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and performance rating over the past three school years, the school faces several challenges that may be impacting its academic performance.
Pevely Elementary's proficiency rates on standardized tests are consistently lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 23.2%, compared to the district and state averages of 23.2% and 40.8%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2%, which can significantly impact student learning and overall school performance.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as Pevely Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 50.28% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 for the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance remains a concern, and further investigation into the underlying factors and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the quality of education for the students of Pevely Elementary.
