Summary:
The Southland C-9 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Southland Elementary. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in both mathematics and English Language Arts. Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, Southland Elementary continues to struggle to improve student outcomes.
Southland Elementary serves a predominantly low-income population, with 97.97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may contribute to the academic challenges faced by students at the school. While the school's resource allocation suggests a commitment to supporting student learning, the data indicates that the school needs to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and interventions to better address the needs of its students.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational opportunities available to students at Southland Elementary in the Southland C-9 school district. The school's consistently low performance and significant achievement gaps suggest the need for targeted support and intervention to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
