Wing Elementary

Summary:

Wing Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sikeston, Missouri, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 356 students. The school is part of the Sikeston R-6 school district, which is ranked 256 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wing Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.2% to 20.8% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, is consistently lower than the Sikeston R-6 district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.5% of 3rd-grade students at Wing Elementary were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 29.5% for the district and 40.8% for the state. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 76.99% to 99.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When comparing Wing Elementary to other schools within the Sikeston R-6 district, such as Lee Hunter Elementary and Southeast Elementary, Wing Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, despite serving a similar student population. Additionally, Wing Elementary's performance has been relatively stagnant or declining over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 485 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 733 out of 906 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and indicates that the school may need to implement more effective strategies to improve student learning and achievement.

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.
