Summary:
The Lonedell R-14 school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Lonedell Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white, it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and economic need within the community.
Academically, Lonedell Elementary performs better than the state average in 4th grade math, but lags behind in 5th grade science and English Language Arts. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 402 and 490 out of 898-908 Missouri elementary schools over the past three school years, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum and instruction, particularly in the subject areas where it is underperforming.
Additionally, Lonedell Elementary serves a community with significant economic challenges, with 51.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $10,610, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance is not exceptional. This indicates that the school may need to explore more effective ways to utilize its resources to better support the needs of its economically disadvantaged students and improve overall student outcomes.
