Crystal City Elementary

Summary:

Crystal City Elementary is a public elementary school serving 318 students in grades PK-6 in Crystal City, Missouri, which is part of the Crystal City 47 school district. The school has a unique student population, with a higher percentage of minority students and students from low-income families compared to nearby schools.

While Crystal City Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in Missouri. The school's test scores have been mixed, with lower proficiency rates in 3rd grade math but higher rates in 5th and 6th grade math and 5th grade science compared to state averages. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $8,822 in 2019-2020 to $12,579 in 2021-2022, which is higher than some nearby schools.

When compared to the surrounding schools, such as Hillsboro Elementary, Athena Elementary, and Pevely Elementary, Crystal City Elementary has a higher percentage of minority students and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's test scores and spending per student are generally in line with or higher than the surrounding schools. These factors suggest that socioeconomic and resource allocation considerations may be impacting the school's academic performance, and further investigation could provide valuable insights for targeted interventions and support.

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.
