Summary:
The Tipton R-VI school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Tipton Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the school has maintained relatively consistent academic performance in recent years, its proficiency rates in 3rd grade Math and English Language Arts fall below the state averages. However, the school's 4th grade Math proficiency rate is slightly above the state benchmark.
One area of concern for Tipton Elementary is its chronic absenteeism rate, which at 17.5% is higher than the state average. Additionally, a significant portion of the school's student population, 44.19%, comes from low-income families eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average indicate that the district is allocating resources to support the educational environment.
Overall, while Tipton Elementary has room for improvement in academic performance and addressing chronic absenteeism, the school's consistent performance and resource allocation suggest that the district is making efforts to provide a quality education for its students. Continued focus on addressing the school's areas of concern, such as low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, could help Tipton Elementary better align with state-level benchmarks and provide a stronger educational experience for its students.
