Grandview Elementary

Summary:

Grandview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Higginsville, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 457 students. The school is part of the Lafayette County C-1 school district, which is ranked 273 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grandview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 10.1% to 30.1%, compared to the state averages of 40.8% to 44.4%. The school's performance on English Language Arts and Science assessments is also below state averages. Compared to nearby schools, such as Sweet Springs Elementary and Sunrise Elementary, Grandview's academic performance is generally lower, with the exception of its low-income students, who perform better than the state average for that subgroup.

Grandview Elementary also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 16.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and many nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 46.7% to 50.34% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Grandview's per-student spending has increased in recent years and its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, the school will need to focus on improving overall academic achievement, addressing attendance issues, and better supporting all students, including those with special needs and high-achieving students.

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.
