Elementary Schools in South Pemiscot County R-V

The South Pemiscot County R-V school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Central Elementary and East Elementary. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face similar challenges, including declining performance, high poverty, and chronic absenteeism.

Central Elementary has seen its statewide school digger rank decline over the past three years, from 734 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 594 out of 906 in 2023-2024. It is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests range from 15.2% to 47.5% across different grade levels and subject areas, which are relatively low compared to state averages. In contrast, East Elementary does not have any statewide school digger rank history provided, making it difficult to assess its performance relative to other schools.

Both Central Elementary and East Elementary have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% for the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate for both schools is 22.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. While Central Elementary has a higher per-student spending of $11,832 for the 2021-2022 school year and a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.1, compared to $7,309 per-student and a ratio of 13.6 for East Elementary, the overall academic performance of the elementary schools in the South Pemiscot County R-V district appears to be below average compared to the state as a whole.
