The Biome

The Biome is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-5 in the Saint Louis, Missouri area, with a total enrollment of 176 students. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, the school's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency. With a predominantly African American student population and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, The Biome appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

The Biome's low ranking of 339 out of 376 in Missouri and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that the school is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in the state. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, the school's academic challenges raise questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that The Biome serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.

Overall, the analysis of the data provided for The Biome reveals a school that is underperforming academically, despite serving a predominantly low-income student population and having higher-than-average spending per student. The school's performance metrics and rankings suggest the need for further investigation and potential interventions to improve educational outcomes for its students.
