Summary:
The Dallas County R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Mallory Elementary. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a performance rating of just 1 or 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past three school years.
Mallory Elementary faces significant challenges, with low proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts that are well below the state averages. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with over 55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 19.2%, which may be contributing to its academic struggles.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending in line with the state average, Mallory Elementary has been unable to translate these resources into improved student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the school's performance issues, such as attendance and effective resource allocation, will be crucial in order to provide a quality education for the students in this community.
