Summary:
Premier Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Premier Charter School District located in Saint Louis, Missouri. With a total enrollment of 918 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low statewide rankings and below-average test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Premier Charter School's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts falling well below state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.7% is also quite high, which may be contributing to the low academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 54.36%.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $14,730 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, Premier Charter School has struggled to translate these resources into improved academic performance. The school's leadership and the Premier Charter School District will need to carefully examine their strategies and implement more effective approaches to support student learning and address the identified challenges.
