Jamestown Elementary

Summary:

Jamestown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Florissant, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 333 students. The school is part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 343 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jamestown Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking between 607 and 840 out of over 900 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 3.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 18.5% in the Hazelwood district and 40.8% statewide. Jamestown's performance on English Language Arts assessments is slightly better, but still lags behind the district and state, with only 20.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in 2023-2024. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.77% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Jamestown Elementary's academic performance is consistently the lowest among the nearby Hazelwood district schools analyzed, with the majority of its peers also performing below the state average. However, the nearby Ferguson-Florissant R-II district schools, such as Halls Ferry Elementary, generally outperform Jamestown Elementary on state assessments, despite serving a similar demographic of students. Jamestown Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, but its academic outcomes do not seem to reflect the higher level of funding, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
