Moline Elementary

Summary:

Moline Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 295 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Riverview Gardens School District, which is ranked 374 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moline Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 95.59% African American, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools based on statewide rankings, and its performance on standardized tests is well below the state and district averages, with only 10-20% of students proficient or better in core subjects. Additionally, nearly 99% of Moline Elementary's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.

The challenges faced by Moline Elementary are not unique, as nearby schools within the Riverview Gardens district, such as Gibson Elementary, Danforth Elementary, and Lemasters Elementary, exhibit similar patterns of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and low statewide rankings. This suggests that the issues at Moline Elementary are systemic within the district. However, the presence of the Early Childhood Education center in the district, which serves a more racially diverse student population, may present an opportunity to explore early intervention strategies and their potential impact on student outcomes at the elementary level.

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.
