Summary:
St. Louis Lang Immersion School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in this area, with an enrollment of 395 students. The data reveals concerning insights about the school's performance, with consistently low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and a declining state ranking.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 14.9% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40.8%. This pattern of underperformance is seen throughout the school, indicating systemic challenges in effectively educating students. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.3%, which likely contributes to the low academic performance.
The school's overall performance is reflected in its low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking it in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools. This ranking has steadily declined over the past three years, suggesting the school is not making sufficient progress to improve student outcomes. With over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. Addressing these issues should be a top priority for the school and district to ensure students receive a high-quality education.
