Lewis Elementary

Summary:

Lewis Elementary is a public elementary school located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, serving 425 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Excelsior Springs 40 school district, which is ranked 177 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lewis Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (85.41%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally lower than the Excelsior Springs 40 district and the state of Missouri averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Math was 21.5% at Lewis Elementary, compared to 36.3% for the district and 41.1% for the state. Additionally, Lewis Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50% to 62.31% over the past three school years, and a higher student-teacher ratio (14.2 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Elkhorn Elementary and Cornerstone Elementary schools.

The declining academic performance of Lewis Elementary, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 385 out of 1,089 schools in 2013-2014 to 638 out of 898 in 2022-2023, and its star rating decreasing from 3 to 1 over the same period, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The school's lower performance on MAP tests for specific student subgroups, such as white students and students with disabilities, further highlights the challenges it faces in providing a quality education to all its students.

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.
