Summary:
The Kingsville R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Kingsville Elementary, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 141 students. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average in Missouri, ranking in the bottom 20% of elementary schools statewide over the past few years.
Kingsville Elementary's test scores are significantly lower than the Missouri state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 23.9% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the 40.8% state average, and just 6.7% of 5th graders proficient in science versus 40.8% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. Despite the school's struggles, its per-student spending of $12,842 is relatively high, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that Kingsville R-I and its sole elementary school, Kingsville Elementary, face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. The school's low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high-need student population indicate the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support services to address the root causes of the academic struggles and improve student outcomes.
