St. James R-I


Summary:

The St. James R-I school district in Missouri operates three schools: Lucy Wortham James Elementary, St. James High, and St. James Middle. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students across all three schools.

Lucy Wortham James Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 307 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school consistently outperforms the state average in Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, St. James High has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating over the past two school years.

The district's schools face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 50.81% to 54.24%. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students and ensure equitable educational opportunities. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity across the schools may be an area for the district to explore and address, as it can impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students.
