Summary:
Central Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Charles, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 831 students. The school is part of the Francis Howell R-III School District, which is ranked 15th out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Central Elementary is part of a high-performing school district, the school's overall academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is lower compared to its nearby counterparts within the district. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students proficient or better in MAP Mathematics was 38.6%, 48.8%, and 38.7%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 53.8%, 64.1%, and 58.7%. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is closer to the district and state averages. Central Elementary's diverse student population and varying subgroup performance, such as African American students and students with disabilities, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes.
Additionally, Central Elementary has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, ranging from 12.0% to 18.1% in recent years. This may be an area of concern that requires further investigation and targeted strategies to improve student attendance. When compared to schools outside the Francis Howell R-III district, such as those in the Fort Zumwalt School District, Central Elementary's performance is more competitive, particularly in English Language Arts.
