David Barton Elementary

Summary:

David Barton Elementary is a public school in Boonville, Missouri, serving 329 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Boonville R-I school district, which is ranked 218 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While David Barton Elementary struggles academically, with consistently low test scores and a ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, it stands out in its ability to effectively serve its economically disadvantaged students. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99% to 99.7% over the past three years. However, David Barton Elementary ranks in the top 30% of Missouri elementary schools for low socioeconomic status (SES) student performance, indicating that it is providing a better educational experience than some of the nearby schools, such as Glasgow Elementary and Hardeman Elementary, which have even lower rankings and test scores.

The school's high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, as well as its lower spending per student compared to some nearby schools, such as Midway Heights Elementary, may be contributing factors to its overall academic underperformance. However, the school's ability to effectively support its low-SES students suggests that there are opportunities for improvement and growth. By addressing the school's resource and socioeconomic challenges and exploring collaborative opportunities with higher-performing schools, the Boonville R-I school district may be able to help David Barton Elementary improve its overall academic 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.
