Eugene Elementary

Q: Is Eugene Elementary a good school?

Eugene Elementary ranks 420 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Eugene Elementary is a public elementary school serving 334 students in grades PK-6 in Eugene, Missouri, which is part of the Cole County R-V school district. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, it currently ranks 420th out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and has a 3-star rating.

One of the key challenges facing Eugene Elementary is the performance of its White student population, which has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools in this subgroup over the past three school years. The school has also struggled with its low socioeconomic status (SES) student population, ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. Additionally, Eugene Elementary has had persistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.3% to 13.8% over the past few school years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests have generally been below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Pioneer Trail Elementary, Blair Oaks Intermediate, and Clarence Lawson Elementary, Eugene Elementary generally underperforms on statewide rankings and academic proficiency measures. For instance, Blair Oaks Intermediate, which is part of the highly-ranked Blair Oaks R-II district, had significantly higher proficiency rates on the MAP tests compared to Eugene Elementary. While Eugene Elementary has seen increases in per-student spending and improvements in its student-teacher ratio, these investments have not yet translated into significant improvements in the school's academic performance.

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.
