Summary:
The Lewis County C-1 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Highland Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 525 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance on standardized tests is consistently below the Missouri state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Highland Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 94.1% of students identifying as white. However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 49.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that economic disadvantage can be a significant barrier to student achievement.
Without any other elementary schools in the Lewis County C-1 district to compare to, it is difficult to determine the relative strengths or weaknesses of Highland Elementary. However, the data suggests that the school is facing significant academic performance issues, and further analysis and comparison to other schools at the state level would be necessary to identify potential areas for improvement.
