In 2022-2023, the school ranked 765 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools. While the school's African American students perform better than the school's overall performance, they still lag behind their peers at the nearby schools, such as Marion Elementary and Bridgeway Elementary. The higher per-student spending at Robert Drummond Elementary ($14,739 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby schools ($11,762 to $14,529) suggests that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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.

Open Quote No communication with the parent, the current nurse is probably the most unprofessional individual I have seen here. I have a Diabetic son who has specific doctor orders, she lost those papers twice and has had my son administer his own shot which he is not suppose to do unless given permission from parent or doctor.

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.
