Summary:
The Lamar R-I school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools, East Elementary and Lamar Elementary, which serve different grade levels within the elementary school range. While the schools do not stand out as exceptional performers, they appear to be relatively average within the district and the state of Missouri.
Both East Elementary and Lamar Elementary have similar characteristics, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.7%, which is slightly higher than the state average. The schools also have comparable student-teacher ratios and spending per student, with Lamar Elementary spending slightly more at $9,615 per student compared to East Elementary's $9,450. However, Lamar Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the state average in mathematics and English language arts across grades 3-5, suggesting room for improvement in student learning outcomes.
The relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools, 56.36% at East Elementary and 53.73% at Lamar Elementary, indicate that the Lamar R-I district may need to address socioeconomic challenges and provide additional support to meet the needs of its student population. Overall, the data suggests a consistent level of quality across the Lamar R-I district, with opportunities for improvement in academic achievement and addressing the needs of the student population.
