A. D. Stowell Elementary

Summary:

A. D. Stowell Elementary is a public elementary school in Hannibal, Missouri, serving 209 students in grades K-5 as part of the Hannibal 60 school district.

While A. D. Stowell Elementary has a predominantly white student population (89.47%), the school has struggled academically compared to nearby schools and the state average. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts were significantly lower than the Hannibal 60 district and the state of Missouri. For example, only 25.8% of 5th-grade students at A. D. Stowell were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 39.8% in the Hannibal 60 district and 39.1% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.77% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the nearby Oakwood Elementary (32.27%) and Mark Twain Elementary (59.67%).

Despite the challenges faced by A. D. Stowell Elementary, the school's student-teacher ratio and per-student spending are within the range of the nearby schools, indicating that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. However, the school's academic performance has declined over the years, and it currently ranks 580 out of 898 elementary schools in Missouri, a significant drop from its previous high ranking of 356 out of 1,052 schools in 2018-2019. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the school's student population and the factors contributing to its current 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.
