Wohlwend Elementary

Summary:

Wohlwend Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 410 students in grades K-5 and part of the Mehlville R-IX school district, which is ranked 95 out of 386 districts in the state.

While Wohlwend Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, the school's low-income student population performs better than the overall school performance. Notably, Mosaic Elementary, another school in the Mehlville district, stands out with exceptional performance, ranking among the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools. Additionally, nearby schools with higher percentages of low-income students, such as Forder Elementary and Bierbaum Elementary, also tend to outperform Wohlwend on academic measures.

One significant concern for Wohlwend Elementary is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.6% to 20.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's average. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, such as student engagement, family support, and transportation issues, could be an important focus for the school's improvement efforts. Additionally, the school's performance for students with disabilities is consistently lower, ranking in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup.

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.
