La Monte Elementary

Summary:

La Monte Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Sedalia 200 school district in La Monte, Missouri, with a student population of 177 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, La Monte Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state average and nearby schools like Skyline Elementary and Horace Mann Elementary in the Sedalia 200 district. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, ranks in the bottom 30-40% of Missouri elementary schools, with only 29.1% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Math and 20.9% in Science, compared to state averages of 39.1% and 40.9%, respectively.

The school's challenges extend beyond academic performance, with a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60% to 68.36% over the past few years. Additionally, the racial makeup of the student body has seen some changes, with the percentage of Hispanic students increasing from 37.21% in 2020-2021 to 41.24% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of White students has decreased from 57.56% to 53.67% during the same period. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving instructional quality, providing targeted interventions for struggling students, and ensuring the school has the necessary resources and support to meet the needs of its diverse student population.

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.
