Summary:
The Riverview Gardens School District in Missouri serves 13 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, primarily serving an economically disadvantaged and predominantly African American student population. While some standout schools like Moline Elementary and Meadows Elementary demonstrate higher proficiency rates, the district as a whole struggles with consistently low academic performance across math, science, and English language arts, with most schools scoring well below state averages.
The data reveals that all schools in the Riverview Gardens district have extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 97.93% to 99.77%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary widely, with some schools like Lemasters Elementary having significantly higher ratios of 27.4 students per teacher, which may contribute to the district's challenges.
Despite the overall low performance, there are some bright spots, such as Moline Elementary, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest proficiency rates in both math and English language arts across multiple grade levels. This suggests that with the right resources and strategies, the schools in the Riverview Gardens district can improve and better serve their students, who come from a predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged background.
