Cedar Springs Elementary

Q: Is Cedar Springs Elementary a good school?

Cedar Springs Elementary ranks 236 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cedar Springs Elementary is a public elementary school located in House Springs, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the Northwest R-I School District, which is ranked 129 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedar Springs Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 40% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 10 years, with strong performance on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's performance is generally above the district and state averages, and it outperforms the other elementary schools in the Northwest R-I district. However, when compared to the higher-performing Rockwood R-VI and Fox C-6 district schools in the surrounding area, Cedar Springs lags behind in several academic metrics.

One area of concern for Cedar Springs Elementary is the increasing chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 16.8% in 2022-2023 to 19.7% in 2023-2024, higher than the district and state averages. This issue should be a focus for the school and district to investigate and address. Additionally, the school's lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance, suggesting that the school's success could be partially attributed to the socioeconomic status of its student population, rather than solely the school's educational practices.

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.
