Jamestown Elementary

Summary:

Jamestown Elementary is a public elementary school in Florissant, Missouri, serving 333 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 329 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jamestown Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 93.39% African American and 65.77% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently performs below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 5-15% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 33-40% proficient or better in English Language Arts across grades 3-5. This is significantly lower than the performance of nearby schools like Twillman Elementary, Barrington Elementary, and Jury Elementary, which generally outperform Jamestown Elementary on standardized tests.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student ($13,051 in 2021-2022), Jamestown Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 719 out of 898 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's African American students have performed relatively better than the overall school, ranking in the top 30-40% of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. This suggests that the school may be able to leverage the strengths of its African American student population to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
