Brunswick Elementary

Q: Is Brunswick Elementary a good school?

Brunswick Elementary ranks 373 rd of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Brunswick Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brunswick, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 155 students. The school is part of the Brunswick R-II school district, which is ranked 131 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brunswick Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 146th out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to 642nd out of 1,052 schools in 2018-2019 (2-star rating). The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is mixed compared to the state and district averages, with lower proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3-6, but a significantly higher 6th-grade Math proficiency rate (74.9%) than the state average (44.4%). Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.4% in 2021-2022 to 50.97% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Hale Elementary and Salisbury Elementary have consistently outperformed Brunswick Elementary in statewide rankings, while Alexander Elementary has struggled academically. Brunswick Elementary's per-student spending has increased over the years, and the school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable. To address the challenges, the school should focus on improving chronic absenteeism and the academic performance of specific student subgroups, as well as strategies to boost proficiency rates in Math and ELA.

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.
