Summary:
The Lafayette County C-1 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Grandview Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 457 students. Based on the available data, Grandview Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, as it has a low statewide ranking and a below-average performance on standardized tests compared to the state average.
Grandview Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is concerning as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts are significantly lower than the Missouri average, with only 10.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient in mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.8%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 36.8% is also below the state average of 40.8%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 525 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 665 out of 906 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.
With nearly half of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Grandview Elementary likely faces challenges related to serving a high-needs student population, which may contribute to the school's overall academic performance. The data suggests that Grandview Elementary is a struggling school that is performing well below the state average on key academic measures and may need significant support and intervention to improve student outcomes.
