City Garden Montessori Eaec

Summary:

City Garden Montessori Eaec is a public charter elementary school serving grades 1-8 in Saint Louis, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 291 students. This school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

One key differentiator is the school's racial diversity, with a mix of 41.92% White, 46.39% African American, 1.72% Hispanic, and 1.03% Asian students. This is higher than the nearby schools, which tend to have a more homogeneous student body. Academically, City Garden Montessori Eaec performs better than the state and district averages, with 47.5% of 3rd-graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42.4%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students (38.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, in contrast to the nearby St. Louis City schools, which have much higher rates.

While City Garden Montessori Eaec is a relatively high-performing school in the area, it still has room for improvement to reach the top tier of Missouri elementary schools. The school's consistent statewide ranking around the 460th-473rd percentile and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that it is not among the state's top performers. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 15.2 and moderate free/reduced lunch rate suggest that it may have access to more funding and resources compared to the nearby schools, which could contribute to its better academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
