Waynesville East Elementary

Summary:

Waynesville East Elementary is a public elementary school serving 929 students in grades K-5 in the Waynesville R-VI school district located in Waynesville, Missouri. While the Waynesville R-VI district is ranked 100 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, Waynesville East Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years.

The school's performance has been mixed, with strong results for its African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial student groups, but relatively lower performance for its white student group. Waynesville East Elementary has also struggled with high and increasing chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting its academic performance. In comparison, nearby Thayer Elementary and Partridge Elementary have maintained higher rankings and ratings, with 4 or 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

While Waynesville East Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. The school's 5th grade students performed better than the district and state in science, but its 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students performed below the district and state averages in both mathematics and English language arts. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve instructional practices, support student and family engagement, and optimize the allocation of 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.
