Summary:
The Scott City R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Scott City Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, a high rate of economically disadvantaged students, and a lack of diversity.
Academically, Scott City Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years and maintains a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's MAP test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades are below the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and above-average per-student spending of $11,865 per year. However, the high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 64.07%, suggests that the school's student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with very small percentages of other racial groups, which may limit the diversity of the educational experience for students.
