Bourbon Elementary School

Q: Is Bourbon Elementary School a good school?

Bourbon Elementary School ranks 662 nd of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Bourbon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 344 students in grades PK-4 in Bourbon, Missouri, which is part of the Crawford County R-II school district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools like Cuba Elementary and Sullivan Elementary, its academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is generally below the state and district averages.

Bourbon Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.85% to 64.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic challenge may be impacting the school's academic achievement, as its proficiency rates lag behind many of the nearby schools, such as Spring Bluff Elementary and Cuba Elementary.

Additionally, Bourbon Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 443 out of 1,052 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 662 out of 898 in 2022-2023, and it currently has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is lower than the 3-star rating of the overall Crawford County R-II district. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support to students, which could help improve its academic outcomes with the right interventions and strategies.

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.
