Maple Grove Elementary

Q: Is Maple Grove Elementary a good school?

Maple Grove Elementary ranks 186 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Maple Grove Elementary is a public elementary school located in Dittmer, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 395 students. The school is part of the Northwest R-I School District, which is ranked 124 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Grove Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 186-357 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is notably higher than the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2022-2023, 49.3% of 3rd-grade students at Maple Grove were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 46.1% for the district and 41.1% for the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 46.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's performance on the MAP tests for this subgroup is particularly impressive, ranking in the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools for low-income students in 2021-2022.

Maple Grove Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white in recent years. This is higher than the racial diversity of the surrounding schools in the Northwest R-I School District, which have a slightly more diverse student body. While this does not necessarily indicate any issues with the school, it may be worth exploring whether the school's demographics and educational approaches are meeting the needs of a more diverse student population.

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.
