El Dorado Springs Elementary

Summary:

El Dorado Springs Elementary is a public elementary school serving 580 students in grades PK-5 in the small town of El Dorado Springs, Missouri, which is part of the El Dorado Springs R-II school district. While the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, it struggles academically, consistently performing below the state average on standardized tests and ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools like Truman Elementary and Stockton Elementary, El Dorado Springs Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.21%) and an extremely high rate of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This lack of diversity and high level of economic disadvantage may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, which has steadily declined over the past decade, dropping from the 458th best elementary school in Missouri in 2015-2016 to the 659th best in 2022-2023.

Despite these challenges, El Dorado Springs Elementary's low-income students perform relatively well compared to other Missouri schools, indicating that the school has the potential to improve if the right resources and strategies are implemented. Targeted interventions and support for the school's white and disabled student populations could also help to address the achievement gaps and drive meaningful improvements in the school's overall academic outcomes.

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.
