Summary:
The Newburg R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Newburg Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance is consistently low, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years, indicating significant challenges in meeting academic standards.
Newburg Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in 3rd and 6th grade mathematics well below the state average. Despite these academic struggles, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, $12,653, which is higher than the state average, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, indicating smaller class sizes.
The data suggests that Newburg Elementary is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement, including targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and a closer examination of how resources are being used to support student learning.
