White Rock Elementary

Summary:

White Rock Elementary is a public school in Pineville, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with 360 students. The school is part of the McDonald County R-I school district, which is ranked 265 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

White Rock Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.33%) compared to nearby schools, and its academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally lower than state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, only 15.7% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.1%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.56% to 72.43% over the past three years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's spending per student has been increasing, from $7,590 in 2018-2019 to $9,010 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

While White Rock Elementary's overall performance is lower than the state and district averages, the school has performed relatively well for its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 268 out of 611 Missouri elementary schools in this subgroup in 2022-2023. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, White Rock Elementary generally performs better than Southwest City Elementary but worse than Rocky Comfort Elementary and Anderson Elementary. This suggests there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of the higher-performing schools within the district.

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.
