Summary:
The Purdy R-II school district in Missouri has a single elementary school, Purdy Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and Asian representation, as well as a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Academically, Purdy Elementary faces some challenges. While the school's 3rd and 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rates are above the state average, its 5th and 6th-grade performance in math, as well as its English Language Arts and science proficiency rates, are below the state average. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools and has received low ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating that it is performing below many of its peers across the state.
Despite these academic concerns, Purdy Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1, which suggests that students may have more individualized attention and support from their teachers. However, this factor alone does not appear to be sufficient to overcome the school's performance issues. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for its low-income student population may be necessary to identify and address the root causes of its academic challenges.
