Main Street Elementary

Summary:

Main Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Troy, Missouri, serving 418 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Troy R-III school district. While the school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms academically and ranks in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools.

Main Street Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population with high socioeconomic needs, as evidenced by the school's 62.44% free or reduced-price lunch rate, which is significantly higher than the surrounding Silex Elementary, Wright City West Elementary, and other nearby schools. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, the school's academic performance lags behind the Troy R-III district and the state of Missouri, with proficiency rates in 3rd-grade math at just 35.6% compared to the district's 42.1% and the state's 41.1%.

While Main Street Elementary has a higher per-student spending of $12,165 compared to the surrounding schools, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 676 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 suggest that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
