Summary:

Maple Elementary is a public elementary school located in Smithville, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 367 students. The school is part of the Smithville R-II School District, which is ranked 23 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 104 and 171 over the past 4 years. The school's performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests is particularly strong, with students outperforming the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 77.7% of 6th-grade students at Maple Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 44.4%. However, the school has experienced a higher rate of chronic absenteeism compared to the state average, ranging from 14.9% to 18.5% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.

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.
