Summary:

Pevely Elementary is a public elementary school serving 708 students in grades K-5 in Pevely, Missouri, which is part of the Dunklin R-V school district. While the district is ranked 118 out of 386 in Missouri and has a 3-star rating, Pevely Elementary has faced some challenges, including lower student performance on state assessments and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools.

Pevely Elementary's student performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.2% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 40.8% statewide. The school also has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.28% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Additionally, Pevely Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.0% to 26.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

However, the school's performance for specific subgroups, such as low socioeconomic status and disabled students, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school 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.
