Momentum Fox Park

Summary:

Momentum Fox Park is a public charter elementary school serving 173 students in grades K-8 in Saint Louis, Missouri. The school is part of the Momentum Academy district, which is ranked 369 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Momentum Fox Park faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a predominantly African American student population, ranging from 91.79% to 92.49% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in nearby schools like Eagle Tower Grove East. Academically, Momentum Fox Park consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools, with proficiency rates in MAP testing for Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly lower than the state and district averages, often falling below 20% proficiency. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Momentum Fox Park faces significant challenges, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve academic achievement and student outcomes. Addressing the systemic issues of high poverty, racial homogeneity, and lower spending per student (between $11,169 and $14,803 per student) could be crucial in improving the overall performance of the school. Collaboration with the community, increased resources, and a focus on equity and inclusion could be potential strategies to explore in order to provide a high-quality education for the students at Momentum Fox Park.

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.
