Scotland County Elementary

Summary:

Scotland County Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Missouri, serving 311 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Scotland County R-I school district. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment tests, is generally below the Missouri state average in both mathematics and English language arts, with fluctuating results across grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 50.48% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the academic challenges, Scotland County Elementary has increased its per-student spending over the years, from $9,913 in 2018-2019 to $14,088 in 2021-2022. The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated, ranging from 10.7 in 2022-2023 to 8.4 in 2021-2022. These changes in funding and staffing suggest the school is working to address its performance issues, but more consistent and strategic planning may be needed to ensure stable and effective educational practices.

One notable aspect of Scotland County Elementary is its racial homogeneity, with 97.43% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average for Missouri elementary schools, which may indicate a need to explore ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the school community.

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.
