Larimore Elementary

Summary:

Larimore Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 341 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 329 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Larimore Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (over 93%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 87% to 98% African American. However, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 5.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in Math, compared to 20.7% in the Hazelwood district and 41.1% statewide. Additionally, Larimore Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Larimore Elementary, ranging from $10,749 to $13,385 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and it is important to examine how the resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and address the specific challenges faced by the school. The nearby schools in the Hazelwood district, such as Jamestown Elementary, Arrowpoint Elementary, and Townsend Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, indicating that the challenges faced by Larimore Elementary may be systemic within the district.

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.
