Eliot Battle Elementary

Summary:

Eliot Battle Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, Missouri, serving 384 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Columbia 93 School District, which is ranked 191 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eliot Battle Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with particularly low academic performance for African American students and those from low-income families. In 2022-2023, only 3.2% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 37.2% in the district and 43.8% statewide. The school spends significantly more per student ($13,445 in 2021-2022) than the state average, but this has not translated into improved outcomes. Nearby schools in the district, such as New Haven Elementary, Shepard Blvd. Elementary, and Derby Ridge Elementary, also struggle academically but generally perform better than Eliot Battle Elementary.

The persistent academic challenges at Eliot Battle Elementary, particularly for African American and low-income students, suggest that the school faces significant barriers to effectively educating its students. The higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio have not been enough to overcome these challenges, indicating that a more comprehensive approach may be necessary to address the underlying issues at the school.

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.
