Pevely Elementary

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 school's student performance on state assessments is generally below state and district averages, it appears to be doing a relatively good job of supporting its low socioeconomic status and special education/disabled student populations.

Pevely Elementary's student performance on Math and English Language Arts assessments lags behind the state averages, with only 27.2% to 40.2% of students scoring proficient or better across grade levels in 2022-2023. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is better than some nearby schools, such as Raymond Nancy Hodge Elementary, Seckman Elementary, Rockport Heights Elementary, and Antonia Elementary, which consistently outperform Pevely Elementary on state assessments.

Pevely Elementary's relatively strong performance for special education and disabled students, ranking 75 out of 107 Missouri elementary schools for special education students and 29 out of 103 for disabled students in 2021-2022, may be attributed to its lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's per-student spending, ranging from $10,546 to $13,749 in recent years, is higher than the state average. However, the school's predominantly White student population, ranging from 84.86% to 87.15% in recent years, may warrant further investigation into the school's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.

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.
