Summary:
The Summersville R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Summersville Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 224 students. While the school spends more per student than the state average, its academic performance has been declining, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts lagging behind state averages.
Summersville Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 383 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 639 out of 898 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in performance relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's academic proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, suggesting potential areas for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices.
The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (52.68%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need to implement strategies to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds and address the impact of these challenges on student learning and achievement. Despite the higher per-student spending, the school's academic performance has not improved, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
