South Point Elementary

Summary:

South Point Elementary is a public elementary school in Washington, Missouri, serving 407 students in grades K-6 and part of the highly-ranked Washington School District.

South Point Elementary generally performs well, with students scoring above the state average in both Math and English Language Arts. However, the school lags behind the district average in some areas, particularly 3rd grade Math and ELA. Interestingly, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.14%) compared to surrounding schools, as well as a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (32.92%). South Point also has a higher per-student spending of $13,922 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.9, suggesting the school is well-resourced. Despite these advantages, Clearview Elementary, another school in the district, consistently outperforms South Point in both Math and ELA.

Over the past several years, South Point Elementary has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a stable and high-performing school. However, the lack of racial diversity in the area and the varying socioeconomic backgrounds of students across the district suggest there may be room for improvement in addressing these factors and their potential impact on student outcomes. Understanding the practices and strategies employed at higher-performing schools like Clearview could provide valuable insights for South Point Elementary to enhance its own performance.

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.
