North Elementary

Summary:

North Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ozark, Missouri, serving 553 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Ozark R-VI school district, which is ranked 16th out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Missouri, with a statewide ranking between 31st and 73rd out of over 900 schools in recent years. The school's students perform significantly above the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding 60% and sometimes reaching over 70%. North Elementary's performance is particularly strong in the 4th grade, where the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and ELA are consistently higher than the Ozark R-VI district and state averages. The school also ranks 11th out of 107 Missouri elementary schools for its performance with special education students and performs exceptionally well with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 38th to 58th out of over 900 Missouri elementary schools in this category.

However, North Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with over 89% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This lack of racial diversity is notable when compared to nearby schools like Espy Elementary and West Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, while North Elementary's performance is on par with or slightly lower than the Ozark R-VI district's other top-performing elementary schools, it is slightly lower than some schools in the neighboring Nixa Public Schools district, such as John Thomas School of Discovery and High Pointe Elementary.

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.
