Wyland Elementary

Summary:

Wyland Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 490 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Ritenour School District, which is ranked 321 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wyland Elementary faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American (36.94%) and Hispanic (30.61%), and an extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools, with academic performance on state assessments (MAP) significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,246 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, the school's low performance suggests that additional funding and resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

Interestingly, Wyland Elementary's African American and Hispanic students perform better relative to their peers statewide, ranking in the top 3 and top 12 schools, respectively, for those subgroups. However, the school's overall low performance indicates that these subgroups are still struggling to achieve proficiency. The nearby Marvin Elementary, Buder Elementary, Marion Elementary, and Iveland Elementary schools within the Ritenour School District have similar demographic profiles and academic performance, suggesting systemic challenges within the district.

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.
