Steelville Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 30-40% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are significantly below the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Steelville Elementary's 3rd grade Math proficiency was 31.7% compared to the state average of 40.8%, and their 4th grade ELA proficiency was 14.8% compared to the state average of 46.2%. In contrast, nearby schools like Lucy Wortham James Elementary and Cuba Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates, often exceeding the state averages by 10-20 percentage points.

Steelville Elementary also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.7% to 22.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's per-student funding and resources are lower than the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its overall low academic performance. Addressing these issues, such as improving attendance and increasing investment in the school, could be critical areas for improvement to help Steelville Elementary better serve its students and community.

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.
