Summary:
The Mexico 59 school district in Missouri is home to three elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools in this district generally underperform the state averages in academic proficiency, one school, Eugene Field Elementary, stands out as a relatively stronger performer, outpacing the district and state in most subjects.
The data reveals that McMillan Early Learning Center is the only school in the district that serves pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students, and it has the highest spending per student at $14,430. Meanwhile, Hawthorne Elementary has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 11.9% of 3rd graders proficient in math and 22% proficient in English language arts. All three schools have a high percentage of white students, ranging from 74.06% to 75.83%, and 100% of their students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages.
The data highlights the need for the Mexico 59 school district to address the academic underperformance of its elementary schools, particularly in the areas of math and English language arts. However, the stronger performance of Eugene Field Elementary suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from its practices and strategies to improve educational outcomes across the district.
