Maple Elementary

Summary:

Maple Elementary is a public elementary school in Smithville, Missouri, serving 367 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Smithville R-II School District, which is ranked 20th out of 376 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Maple Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.37%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally lower than the Smithville R-II district average and the state average, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. In 2022-2023, Maple Elementary's 3rd-6th grade math proficiency rates ranged from 46.2% to 68%, compared to the Smithville R-II district's 61.2% to 75.8% and the state's 41.1% to 43.8%. Similarly, Maple Elementary's 3rd-6th grade ELA proficiency rates ranged from 32.7% to 78%, compared to the Smithville R-II district's 48.4% to 68% and the state's 37.5% to 45.9%. Additionally, Maple Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.25% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Horizon Elementary (16.59%) and Eagle Heights Elementary (16.78%).

Despite the higher per-student spending at Maple Elementary ($11,609 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby Horizon Elementary ($10,638) and Eagle Heights Elementary ($10,289), the school's academic performance is still lower than these nearby schools, which are also part of the Smithville R-II district and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be influencing student outcomes at Maple Elementary.

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.
