Summersville Elementary

Summary:

Summersville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Summersville, Missouri, with 224 students. The school is part of the Summersville R-II School District, which is ranked 220 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Summersville Elementary has shown strong performance in 3rd-grade mathematics, with students scoring 51.3% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40.8%. However, the school's performance in other subjects and grade levels is more mixed, with 5th-grade math and science scores lagging behind the state averages. The school also faces challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 17.9%, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.07% to 65.97%, indicating a large proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite an increase in per-student spending, from $8,005 in 2018-2019 to $11,167 in 2021-2022, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 402 out of 865 Missouri elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 427 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, Summersville Elementary's performance is mixed. While it outperforms Eminence Elementary in mathematics, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Mountain View Elementary in the Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III district. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students and low-socioeconomic status students, has also fluctuated, suggesting that addressing the challenges of chronic absenteeism and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds may be crucial for Summersville Elementary to improve its overall academic standing.

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.
