Eureka Elementary ranks 139 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Eureka Elementary is a public elementary school in Eureka, Missouri, serving 489 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the highly-ranked Rockwood R-VI school district, which is ranked 23rd out of 376 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Eureka Elementary stands out for its consistently high performance, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years and ranking among the top 20-25% of Missouri elementary schools. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.5%) compared to nearby schools like Green Pines Elementary (69.16% white) and Fairway Elementary (82.2% white), which have more diverse student populations. Eureka Elementary also performs well on state assessments, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the state average, though slightly lower than the Rockwood R-VI district average in some grade levels and subject areas.

Interestingly, Eureka Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (7.77%), which is lower than the nearby schools and the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($11,024 in 2021-2022) is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $11,139 to $14,503 per student. This suggests Eureka Elementary may be operating efficiently, though further analysis would be needed to determine the impact on student outcomes. Overall, Eureka Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school within the Rockwood R-VI district, with opportunities to address the racial imbalance and improve in certain academic areas.

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.
