Summary:
The Van-Far R-I school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Van-Far Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 6th grade. While the school outperforms the state average in 3rd-grade mathematics, its overall academic performance is mixed, with some grades and subjects underperforming the state benchmarks.
Van-Far Elementary has a student enrollment of 320, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (84.38%) and a relatively high percentage of students (53.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is slightly lower than the state average, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the school's spending per student, at $11,050, is higher than the state average.
Compared to the state, Van-Far Elementary's academic performance is variable. While the school excels in 3rd-grade mathematics, it underperforms the state average in 4th and 6th-grade mathematics, as well as in 3rd, 5th, and 6th-grade English Language Arts. This suggests that the school may need to focus on ensuring consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in light of the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning.
