Tipton Elementary

Q: Is Tipton Elementary a good school?

Tipton Elementary ranks 432 nd of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Tipton Elementary is a public elementary school serving 258 students in grades PK-5 in Tipton, Missouri, which is part of the Morgan County R-II school district. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools like Pilot Grove Elementary and High Point Elementary.

Tipton Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 510 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 432 out of 898 in 2022-2023, suggesting that its academic performance is not keeping pace with the state average.

While Tipton Elementary's performance is generally below the state average, it is not the lowest-performing school in the surrounding area. For example, Pilot Grove Elementary and High Point Elementary, which are both within 16 miles of Tipton, have higher statewide rankings and better academic performance in certain areas. Additionally, some of the nearby schools, such as Pilot Grove Elementary and High Point Elementary, have much smaller student populations, which may indicate declining enrollment in the region.

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.
