Dixon Elementary

Summary:

Dixon Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Dixon, Missouri, with a student population of 394. The school is part of the Maries County R-I school district, which is ranked 245 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key factors that sets Dixon Elementary apart is its student racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.1%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Dixon Elementary students generally perform better on state assessments (MAP tests) compared to the state average, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2022-2023, 57.1% of 3rd graders at Dixon Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.1%. However, the school also has a relatively high percentage of students (54.57% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Vienna Elementary and Newburg Elementary, Dixon Elementary generally outperforms schools with similar demographics, suggesting the school is providing a stable and effective educational environment for its students. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas like 4th and 5th grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates are lower than the 3rd grade. Overall, Dixon Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district, with a focus on academic achievement and a stable educational environment, but the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may present challenges that the school and district will need to address to ensure continued student success.

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.
