Summary:
The Ferguson-Florissant R-II school district in Missouri is home to 13 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 329 out of 386 school districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the district, Robinwood Elementary and Combs Elementary demonstrate relatively stronger academic performance, with proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts exceeding the district and state averages in several grade levels. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (38.7%) and a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with spending per student ranging from $10,826 to $46,723 across the district's schools. This wide variation may contribute to the overall low academic performance, as the Ferguson-Florissant R-II district consistently lags behind the state averages in proficiency rates, suggesting significant achievement gaps that will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address.
