Summary:
The Crocker R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Crocker Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 265 students. While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, its academic performance is consistently well below the state averages in Missouri across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Crocker Elementary's test scores are particularly concerning, with only 3.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math compared to the state average of 41.1%. The school has also seen its ranking among Missouri elementary schools decline in recent years, from 707 out of 901 in 2020-2021 to 835 out of 908 in 2021-2022. This trend suggests that the school is not keeping pace with other schools in the state.
Another significant challenge facing Crocker Elementary is the high poverty level of its student population, with 88.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Despite the school's above-average spending per student of $11,345, the data indicates that Crocker Elementary is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students and may require significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
