Bloomfield Elementary

Q: Is Bloomfield Elementary a good school?

Bloomfield Elementary ranks 606 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bloomfield Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Bloomfield, Missouri, with 258 students. The school is part of the Bloomfield R-XIV school district, which is ranked 240 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bloomfield Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 152nd out of 1,045 Missouri elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 606th out of 906 in 2023-2024, the school has performed exceptionally well with its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 75th out of 907 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019 and 54th out of 887 in 2017-2018 for this subgroup. However, the school's overall performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state average, with only 27-36% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in math, and 37.9-44.9% proficient or better in English Language Arts. Additionally, Bloomfield Elementary has seen a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.4% to 10.2% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Bloomfield Elementary performs better than some, such as Scott County Central Elementary and Fisk Elementary, which have lower statewide rankings and student performance. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Advance Elementary and Bernie Elementary, which have significantly higher student proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Despite the increase in per-student spending at Bloomfield Elementary, from $7,391 in 2019-2020 to $10,626 in 2021-2022, the school's overall academic performance has declined, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

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.
