Stoutland Elementary

Summary:

Stoutland Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Stoutland, Missouri, with 238 students. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.7% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 40.8%.

Stoutland Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.0% to 26.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 13.0 and spends between $9,933 to $11,983 per student, which is higher than the state average, these factors have not translated into better academic outcomes. In comparison, nearby schools like Hawthorn Elementary, Crocker Elementary, and Joel E. Barber Elementary have higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings from SchoolDigger.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Stoutland Elementary, ranging from 57.59% to 68.49% in recent years, likely contributes to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. To improve student outcomes, the school and Stoutland R-II School District may need to implement significant interventions and reforms, such as addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and exploring best practices from higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
