Eastmorland Elementary

Summary:

Eastmorland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Joplin, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Joplin Schools district, which is ranked 171 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastmorland Elementary faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. The school's student academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is generally below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Eastmorland's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 40.5%, compared to the state average of 40.8% and the Joplin Schools district average of 39%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 47.3%, compared to the state average of 43% and the district average of 41.5%.

When comparing Eastmorland Elementary to other nearby schools in the Joplin Schools district, it becomes evident that Eastmorland is generally performing below the district and state averages. For instance, Jefferson Elementary, which is located just 3.57 miles away, has consistently higher proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking than Eastmorland. Despite the school's challenges, Eastmorland Elementary's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, from $8,322 in 2019-2020 to $10,479 in 2021-2022, suggesting that the district is allocating additional resources to the school, but the impact on student outcomes is not yet evident.

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.
