Elementary Schools in Forsyth R-III

The Forsyth R-III school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Forsyth Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 462 students. Forsyth Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 90.91% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high percentage of students (62.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Academically, Forsyth Elementary's performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's 4th-grade math and ELA proficiency rates are slightly above the state averages, its 3rd-grade math and ELA proficiency rates are below the state averages. The school has been ranked in the middle of Missouri elementary schools in recent years, ranging from 329th out of 908 schools in 2021-2022 to 446th out of 898 schools in 2022-2023, and has received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Forsyth R-III school district spends $10,957 per student, which is higher than the state average, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which is slightly lower than the state average. These factors suggest a commitment to providing adequate resources and support for students, but the school's academic performance suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes, particularly for economically disadvantaged students and in the area of 3rd-grade math and ELA.
