Boone Elementary

Q: Is Boone Elementary a good school?

Boone Elementary ranks 398 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Boone Elementary is a public elementary school located in Troy, Missouri, serving 430 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Troy R-III School District, which is ranked 141 out of 386 school districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Boone Elementary has seen a steady increase in its chronic absenteeism rate, rising from 19.2% in 2021-2022 to 24.2% in 2023-2024, this is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Hawk Point Elementary (24.2%) and Wm. R. Cappel Elementary (24.2%). Additionally, Boone Elementary's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, only 41.2% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.8% and the district average of 41.2%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.32% to 36.05% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of nearby schools like Claude Brown Elementary (23.06%).

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Boone Elementary, which has risen from $8,172 in 2018-2019 to $11,717 in 2021-2022, the school's academic outcomes are still lagging behind the state and district averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student performance, and the school may need to focus on other factors, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and student support services. Additionally, Boone Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status, is also below the state averages for those subgroups, indicating a need to address the needs of these student populations.

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.
