Summary:
The Chaffee R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Chaffee Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Chaffee Elementary's test scores are significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 26.1% of 3rd-graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.8%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 23.5% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 47.02% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1 and per-student spending of $9,586, the data suggests that resources may not be the primary factor limiting academic performance. The persistent challenges in academic achievement and student engagement at Chaffee Elementary indicate a need for a comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students.
