Summary:
The Macks Creek Elementary is the sole elementary school serving the Macks Creek R-V school district in Missouri. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments.
Macks Creek Elementary faces significant challenges, with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population facing substantial socioeconomic challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also high, at 12.8% in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors likely contribute to the school's persistent low academic performance, with only 15.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.8%.
The data suggests that Macks Creek Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population. While the school has access to resources, these do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the complex issues facing the school will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique challenges of the community it serves.
