Mrh Elementary

Summary:

Mrh Elementary is a public elementary school located in Richmond Heights, Missouri, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 417 students. The school is part of the Maplewood-Richmond Heights School District, which is ranked 25th out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mrh Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 114 and 190 out of 906-908 schools in recent years. The school's performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests is notably strong, with students outperforming the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Mrh Elementary's 5th-grade students scored 64.8% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.4%. The school's performance is particularly impressive for White students, who rank in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Mrh Elementary also has a diverse student population, and the school's performance across different subgroups, including African American students, students with disabilities, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is commendable.

While Mrh Elementary's performance is notably stronger than that of nearby schools in the St. Louis City School District, such as Mason Elementary and Mallinckrodt A.B.I. Elementary, the school's performance in the Gifted and Talented program is an area of concern, with the school ranking in the bottom 30% of Missouri elementary schools in this subgroup. The school's increased spending per student, from $10,911 in 2019-2020 to $14,155 in 2021-2022, and declining chronic absenteeism rates, from 26.0% in 2021-2022 to 18.4% in 2023-2024, are positive indicators for the school's continued success.

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.
