The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.86%) compared to nearby schools like South Elementary in Ozark (86.83% white) and Espy Elementary in Nixa (77.5% white).

Additionally, Galena-Abesville Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.33% to 89.37% over the past few years, significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite spending more per student ($11,332 in 2021-2022) than nearby schools like South Elementary ($9,700) and Espy Elementary ($10,678), Galena-Abesville Elementary is not achieving better academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 in 2022-2023, lower than the nearby schools. These factors suggest that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources and attracting and retaining high-quality teachers to support student learning.

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.
