Summary:
The Cabool R-IV school district has only one elementary school, Cabool Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and has an enrollment of 340 students. While Cabool Elementary's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate exceeds the state average, its 4th-grade performance in both math and ELA falls below the state benchmarks, suggesting a need to focus on improving upper-elementary academic outcomes.
Cabool Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with only 6.47% of students identifying as non-white, which is not representative of the racial diversity found in many other parts of the state. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and fluctuating statewide ranking indicate that it is performing below average compared to other Missouri elementary schools, which could be an area of concern.
Notably, Cabool Elementary serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students (98.53%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting a focus on providing additional resources and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student body.
