Summary:
The Guadalupe Centers Schools district in Missouri has one elementary school, Guadalupe Centers Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 781 students. This school stands out for its highly diverse student population, with 96.41% of students identifying as Hispanic, but its academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.
Guadalupe Centers Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests that are 34-36 percentage points lower than the state averages. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of students (92.57%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1 and high per-student spending of $15,775, which suggests a need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
Overall, the data highlights the significant academic challenges faced by Guadalupe Centers Elementary, which serves a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. The school's consistently low performance on standardized tests suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gaps and help students reach their full potential.
