Summary:
The city of Saint Ann, Missouri is home to 4 schools - 2 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spanning two different school districts, Pattonville R-III and Ritenour. While the data reveals some standout schools, there are also significant disparities in performance and resources across the schools in this area.
Among the middle schools, Holman Middle stands out as the highest performer, ranking 319 out of 451 Missouri middle schools and outperforming the other middle school, Hoech Middle, as well as district and state averages in key subject areas. At the elementary level, Buder Elementary also shows promise, exceeding district and state averages in several subjects despite a low statewide ranking.
However, the data also reveals concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates at the middle schools and extremely high free/reduced lunch rates at Buder Elementary and Hoech Middle, indicating a high-poverty student population. Additionally, there are significant disparities in spending per student, with the higher-spending Pattonville schools outperforming the lower-spending Ritenour schools. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these differences could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the district.
