Macks Creek Elementary

Q: Is Macks Creek Elementary a good school?

Macks Creek Elementary ranks 668 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Macks Creek Elementary is a public elementary school serving 185 students in grades PK-6 in the rural town of Macks Creek, Missouri. The school is part of the Macks Creek R-V school district, which is ranked 316 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Macks Creek Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The student population is overwhelmingly white (over 92%) and economically disadvantaged, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 3rd grade math proficiency at just 22.7% compared to the state average of 41.1%. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting it is falling behind its peers. Nearby schools like Hermitage Elementary, Osage Beach Elementary, and Skyline Elementary generally outperform Macks Creek Elementary on academic measures and have more diverse student populations.

Despite these challenges, Macks Creek Elementary has performed relatively well in serving its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 40% of Missouri elementary schools in this category in recent years. Addressing the underlying issues, such as the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, the school's rural location, and the low-performing Macks Creek R-V school district, could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Macks Creek Elementary.

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.
