Crocker Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (88.3%) compared to nearby schools, as well as its consistently lower academic performance on MAP tests, with only 3.3% of 3rd-graders proficient in math in 2022-2023, far below the state average of 41.1%.

While Crocker Elementary's spending per student has increased from $7,945 in 2018-2019 to $11,345 in 2021-2022, its academic performance has not kept pace, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined from 277 out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 591 out of 898 in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as the higher-performing Waynesville R-VI schools, Crocker Elementary's academic outcomes are significantly lower. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 12.5 over the past few years, which is better than many of the surrounding schools. Overall, the data suggests that Crocker Elementary is facing significant socioeconomic challenges that are impacting student learning, and addressing these underlying issues will be crucial for improving the school's performance and providing a high-quality education for the community.

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.
