Summary:
The Humansville R-IV school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Humansville Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Humansville Elementary appears to be a consistently underperforming school, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years and earning a below-average 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Humansville Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.6%. Similarly, only 25% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.4%. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance remains significantly below the state averages, suggesting that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the specific needs of its students. Additionally, the school's low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that socioeconomic factors may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance, and other factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be more significant contributors to the school's struggles.
