The school is part of the Putnam County R-I district, which is ranked 139 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Putnam County Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state. The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are generally higher than the state averages, and its 5th-grade students have significantly higher proficiency rates in MAP Science compared to the state average. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which can contribute to more personalized attention and support for students.
While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years, there are a few areas that could be addressed. The school's 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate is significantly lower than the state average, indicating a potential opportunity for improvement. Additionally, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may need to consider additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population.
