Northview Elementary

Summary:

Northview Elementary is a public elementary school in Jennings, Missouri, serving 524 students in grades PK-6, with an overwhelmingly African American student population of over 98%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northview Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with students consistently underperforming compared to the Jennings district and the state of Missouri in standardized test scores. For example, in 6th grade Mathematics, only 2.9% of Northview students were proficient or better, compared to 14.9% in Jennings and 43.7% statewide. The school also serves a population with very low socioeconomic status, with 99.45% to 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years. Additionally, Northview Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.8 to 20 students per teacher, higher than some nearby schools like Earl Nance Senior Elementary (14.5 students per teacher).

While Northview Elementary and many of the nearby schools, such as Fairview Primary, serve predominantly low-income, African American student populations, there are notable differences in academic performance and other key metrics. For example, Fairview Primary outperforms Northview Elementary in Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates by a significant margin, suggesting that addressing the systemic challenges at Northview, such as low socioeconomic status, high student-teacher ratios, and lower per-student spending, may be crucial in improving educational outcomes for its 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.
