Summary:
The Verona R-Vii school district in Missouri has a single elementary school, Verona Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 170 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic enrollment of 31.76%, but faces challenges in terms of academic performance and serving a predominantly low-income community.
Verona Elementary's test scores are generally below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts across grades 4-6, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, the school's performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and class size may be influencing student outcomes. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (67.65%) indicates that Verona Elementary serves a predominantly low-income community, which can be a significant factor in student achievement and may require additional resources and support.
While Verona Elementary has a diverse student population and some positive factors, such as the low student-teacher ratio, the school's declining performance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student body suggest that the Verona R-Vii school district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes and providing targeted support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
