Summary:

Archie Elementary is a public elementary school serving 229 students in grades PK-5 in Archie, Missouri, which is part of the Archie R-V school district. While the district is ranked 185 out of 386 in the state and has a 3-star rating, Archie Elementary has faced several challenges in recent years.

Archie Elementary has consistently performed below the state average in both math and English language arts proficiency across grades 3-5, with only 38.4% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.8% in 2023-2024. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.1% to 23.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Archie Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.13% to 33.94% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Midway Elementary, which is 14.38 miles away, Archie Elementary generally performs worse across multiple metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined from 59th out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 621st out of 906 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend of declining academic performance that needs to be addressed.

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.
