Summary:
The Crawford County R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Bourbon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 344 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking between 535 and 662 out of 900+ schools and a 1-2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some challenges in academic proficiency and attendance.
Bourbon Elementary School's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades are generally below the state averages, with the exception of 3rd-grade Mathematics and ELA. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which can negatively impact student learning. The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage (56.69%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
However, Bourbon Elementary School's low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 may be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. With targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the school's areas of concern, such as academic performance and attendance, the school may be able to improve and better support the success of its students.
