Fisk Elementary

Summary:

Fisk Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Twin Rivers R-X school district in Fisk, Missouri, with a student population of 345 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly white student body, with a small percentage of students from other racial backgrounds.

Despite its location, Fisk Elementary is underperforming academically compared to nearby schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Central Elementary in the Dexter R-Xi district, which outperforms Fisk Elementary on standardized tests and has a higher state-wide ranking. Additionally, Fisk Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 88.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state and district averages. This suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Furthermore, Fisk Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which is higher than the state and district averages, indicating that the school may be facing resource constraints that could be limiting its ability to provide individualized attention and support to students. The school's declining enrollment, from 365 students in the 2020-2021 school year to 345 students in the current school year, is also a concerning trend that may have implications for the school's funding and resources.

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.
