Lewis Clark Elementary

Summary:

Lewis Clark Elementary is a public school in St. Peters, Missouri, serving 437 students in grades 3-5 as part of the Fort Zumwalt R-II school district, which is ranked 30th out of 376 districts in the state.

While Lewis Clark Elementary has a higher percentage of minority students (25.4% non-white) compared to nearby schools like Progress South Elementary (21.53% non-white) and Mid Rivers Elementary (21.3% non-white), its academic performance is generally lower than the surrounding schools. However, the school has some bright spots, with its 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 48.2% exceeding the district (64.5%) and state (45.9%) averages, and its 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 44.6% also higher than the district (51.3%) and state (40.9%) averages. Additionally, Lewis Clark Elementary has performed relatively well in serving its special education and low-income student populations.

Over the past several years, Lewis Clark Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining, from 249th out of 1,045 Missouri elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 408th out of 898 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep pace with the academic performance of other schools in the state. The school could focus on improving its overall academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates have been consistently lower than the district and state averages. By addressing these areas, Lewis Clark Elementary can work to improve the educational outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
