Viburnum Elementary

Summary:

Viburnum Elementary is a public elementary school located in Viburnum, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 147 students. The school is part of the Iron County C-4 school district, which is ranked 269 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Viburnum Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with academic performance on state assessments (MAP tests) generally below the state and district averages. However, the school's 4th-grade Math performance is a bright spot, with 60.8% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 44.4%. The school also performs relatively better for its low-income student population, ranking in the top half of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. Nonetheless, Viburnum Elementary faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to its overall academic struggles.

While the school district has increased per-student spending and decreased the student-teacher ratio at Viburnum Elementary, these investments have not yet translated into significant academic gains across all grade levels and subject areas. Nearby schools, such as Caledonia Elementary and Bunker Elementary, may provide useful comparisons and insights for Viburnum Elementary as it works to improve student outcomes.

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.
