Jonesburg Elementary

Summary:

Jonesburg Elementary is a public elementary school serving 192 students in grades PK-5 in Jonesburg, Missouri, which is part of the Montgomery County R-II school district. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, with only 13.9% of 3rd graders and 17.8% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, far below the state averages of 41.1% and 43.8%, respectively. Jonesburg Elementary's academic performance and statewide ranking have steadily declined over the past decade, placing it in the bottom 8% of Missouri elementary schools.

The school's performance is particularly concerning for its White student population, ranking in the bottom 10% of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. However, Jonesburg Elementary has performed better for its low-income students, ranking in the top third of Missouri elementary schools in this category in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. This suggests the school may be struggling to effectively serve its diverse student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as New Haven Elementary and Montgomery City Elementary, Jonesburg Elementary stands out as the lowest-performing, indicating there may be opportunities to learn from the success of these higher-performing schools.

Despite increased per-student spending at Jonesburg Elementary, from $10,186 in 2019-2020 to $11,239 in 2021-2022, these additional resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that examines instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted support for underperforming subgroups. By learning from the successes of nearby schools, Jonesburg Elementary can develop strategies to improve student outcomes and provide a stronger educational foundation for its 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.
