Summary:
Eugene Field Elementary is a public elementary school located in Maryville, Missouri, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 318 students. The school is part of the Maryville R-II School District, which is ranked 40 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Eugene Field Elementary is part of a relatively high-performing school district, its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests, is generally on par with the district average but lags behind the state average in both mathematics and English language arts. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 37.9%, compared to the state average of 41.1%. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (around 90%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Stanberry Elementary, which outperformed Eugene Field Elementary in 4th-grade math proficiency in 2022-2023 (30.5% vs. 47.8%).
Despite the higher per-student spending at Eugene Field Elementary, ranging from $9,720 in 2018-2019 to $13,279 in 2021-2022, the school's academic performance does not seem to be significantly better than the state average or some of the nearby schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student demographics, may play a more significant role in the school's academic outcomes. Additionally, the high percentage of white students at Eugene Field Elementary, as well as many of the nearby schools, raises questions about the diversity and inclusiveness of the educational environment in the region.
