Elementary Schools in The Biome

There is only one elementary school located in The Biome, Missouri - The Biome Elementary School. This public charter school serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is ranked 366 out of 386 in the state of Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Biome Elementary School consistently performs below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the Missouri state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate was just 3.8%, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 47.5%, which is likely a contributing factor to the low academic performance.

Despite the low academic achievement, The Biome Elementary School spends a relatively high amount of $17,859 per student. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, suggesting that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to students. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic results. With nearly 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, The Biome serves a high-poverty student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation.
