Skyline Elementary

Summary:

Skyline Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Urbana, Missouri, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 306 students. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyline Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state and district averages on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests. In 2022-2023, 84.1% of 4th-grade students at Skyline Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to just 43.8% statewide. The school also has a higher per-student spending level ($11,034 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its success. However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse, with 98.69% of students identifying as white in 2022-2023, in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools like South Elementary and Mallory Elementary.

When compared to the surrounding schools in the Warsaw R-Ix, Dallas County R-I, and other nearby districts, Skyline Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher test scores and a stronger statewide ranking. This suggests that the school is providing a quality education that is not consistently available in the surrounding area, though the lack of racial diversity and the socioeconomic factors at play are important considerations that warrant further examination.

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.
