Skyline Elementary

Q: Is Skyline Elementary a good school?

Skyline Elementary ranks 277 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Skyline Elementary is a public elementary school in Sedalia, Missouri, serving 489 students in grades K-4 and part of the Sedalia 200 school district, which is ranked 75 out of 376 districts in the state.

Skyline Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades that are higher than the state averages and, in some cases, higher than the Sedalia 200 district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, 4th-grade students at Skyline Elementary had a 66.3% proficiency rate in ELA, compared to the state average of 45.9%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.3 to 13.9 over the past three years, which is lower than the surrounding schools like Parkview Elementary, Washington Elementary, and Heber Hunt Elementary.

While Skyline Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (80.78%) compared to the surrounding schools, it also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.51% to 50.31% over the past three years. This suggests the school is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged population, as it has maintained a consistent 3- or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. However, there may be opportunities to further improve the school's test scores, particularly in Mathematics, where the proficiency rates are slightly lower than the district and state averages.

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.
