Lone Jack Elementary

Q: Is Lone Jack Elementary a good school?

Lone Jack Elementary ranks 539 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lone Jack Elementary is a public elementary school serving 352 students in grades PK-5 in the rural community of Lone Jack, Missouri. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending comparable to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below state averages and lags behind many of its regional counterparts.

Lone Jack Elementary's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 25% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 41.1%, and its 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 33.4%, compared to the state average of 44.1%. When compared to nearby schools like Highland Park Elementary, Lone Jack's academic performance is significantly lower across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 352 out of 1,058 schools in 2014-2015 to 539 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 2 to 3 stars out of 5 over the past decade, lagging behind the 4 and 5-star ratings of nearby schools.

One potential factor contributing to Lone Jack Elementary's academic performance challenges may be its lack of racial diversity, with over 94% of its students identifying as white, compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools. Additionally, the school serves a relatively affluent community, with only 4.9% to 14.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the rates of many surrounding schools. To address these challenges, the Lone Jack C-6 School District may need to focus on improving instructional quality, implementing targeted interventions for struggling students, and fostering a more inclusive learning environment.

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.
