Fox Elementary

Summary:

Fox Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arnold, Missouri, serving 380 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Fox C-6 School District, which is ranked 51 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Fox Elementary's student performance on state assessments is generally above the Missouri average, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are more mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade students performing below the state average. The school's performance for its low socioeconomic status (SES) and disabled student subgroups is exceptional, ranking in the top 5% and top 20% of Missouri elementary schools, respectively. Despite these strengths, Fox Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Fox Elementary's performance is on par with or slightly below other elementary schools in the Fox C-6 School District. However, the school's performance is notably lower than that of Hagemann Elementary, which is only 2 miles away and part of the Mehlville R-IX School District. Despite these challenges, Fox Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has increased its per-student spending in recent years, which may contribute to its strong performance for certain student subgroups.

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.
