Clarence Cannon Elementary

Summary:

Clarence Cannon Elementary is a public elementary school in Elsberry, Missouri, serving 313 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Elsberry R-II School District, which is ranked 205 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clarence Cannon Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 20.3% of 3rd graders and 16.9% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.1% and 43.8%, respectively. Similarly, in ELA, only 24.6% of 3rd graders and 21.6% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 42.4% and 45.9%. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 53.99% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its academic underperformance. In contrast, nearby schools like Wm. R. Cappel Elementary (31.8% free/reduced-price lunch) and Lincoln Elementary (29.51% free/reduced-price lunch) have higher academic performance and lower percentages of low-income students.

Clarence Cannon Elementary has also experienced a decline in its statewide ranking, from 373 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 773 out of 898 in 2022-2023. This steady decline, coupled with the school's consistently low academic performance, suggests that the school may be struggling to address the unique needs of its student population, which is also less racially diverse than the surrounding schools. Despite increased spending per student, from $9,204 in 2018-2019 to $12,154 in 2021-2022, the school has not been able to translate this into improved academic outcomes, indicating that the allocation and utilization of resources may need to be re-evaluated.

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.
