North Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 93% white and over 99% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

North Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

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.

Open Quote The communication between parents and teachers is horrible. It seems everyone is there just for a paycheck and NOT because they have a love for children. No one tries to really get to know your childs strengths to help them grow and flourish. It's very sad. My children should be given the best start in life, that includes teachers that would take pride in their work knowing they are helping mold young minds. They would want to work together as a whole school and raise scores by making children excited about learning. They lack compassion and understanding for a child with any learning, social, or emotional issues. They do not go the extra mile in finding ways to help those children overcome issues and empower them. Disheartening as a parent. Close Quote

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.
