Daniel Boone Elementary

Summary:

Daniel Boone Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Wentzville, Missouri, serving grades K-5 and part of the Wentzville R-IV school district. The school has consistently ranked among the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year.

Daniel Boone Elementary's students significantly outperform state and district averages on standardized tests, with higher percentages of students scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts. However, the school has a predominantly white student population (89.61%) compared to the more diverse nearby Wabash Elementary and Barfield Early Childhood Center. Additionally, Daniel Boone has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (9.66%) than the surrounding Wentzville R-IV schools, suggesting it serves a more affluent community.

The higher per-student spending at Daniel Boone Elementary ($12,159 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. However, the racial disparity in the student population raises questions about equitable access to educational opportunities in the community. Overall, Daniel Boone Elementary is a high-achieving school, but further investigation is needed to understand the factors behind its success and ensure all students in the Wentzville area have access to a quality education.

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.
