Woerner Elementary has a diverse student population, with 28.18% White, 37.57% African American, 13.81% Hispanic, and 12.15% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 9.8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.1% and the St. Louis City average of 15.9%. Additionally, over 99% of Woerner Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking of 721 out of 898 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.
While Woerner Elementary's performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Buder Elementary, which has higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts, the school's diverse student population and high levels of economic disadvantage may contribute to these challenges. Woerner Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $15,425 to $18,702 per student over the past few years, but this high spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning.
