Ballwin Elementary

Summary:

Ballwin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ballwin, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 434 students. The school is part of the Rockwood R-VI School District, which is ranked 22 out of 386 school districts in Missouri and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Ballwin Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, with a strong performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's 3rd-grade students scored 59.9% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 54.3% for the Rockwood R-VI district and 40.8% for the state of Missouri. However, the school's performance for its Asian, African American, and Low Socio-Economic Status student subgroups is more mixed, with rankings ranging from the top 17% to the bottom 50% of Missouri elementary schools. Ballwin Elementary has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, from 22.3% in 2021-2022 to 13.9% in 2023-2024, though this is still higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other schools in the Rockwood R-VI district, such as Ellisville Elementary, Westridge Elementary, and Woerther Elementary, Ballwin Elementary performs well. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Parkway C-2 district, such as Oak Brook Elementary and Pierremont Elementary, Ballwin Elementary's performance is not as strong, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. This may be due to the relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Ballwin Elementary, suggesting a higher socio-economic status of its student population compared to the state average.

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.
