St Louis Lang Immersion School

Summary:

St Louis Lang Immersion School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Saint Louis, Missouri, with 395 students. The school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, well-below-average academic performance, and a high-poverty student population.

The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is concerning, with only 14.9% of 3rd graders proficient in Math and English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.8% and 41.6%, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 27.2% to 39.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 50-62% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Jefferson Elementary, Elias Michael Elementary, and Gateway Elementary, also serve high-poverty student populations and have similarly low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Over the past decade, St Louis Lang Immersion School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 910 out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 795 out of 906 in 2023-2024. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and low-socioeconomic status students, is particularly concerning, with the school ranking 138 out of 191 Missouri elementary schools for African American students, with a 1-star rating. These challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the issues at St Louis Lang Immersion School, in collaboration with the broader St. Louis Lang Immersion School district and community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
