Summary:

Carterville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 239 students in grades K-4 in Carterville, Missouri, which is part of the highly-ranked Webb City R-VII school district. This school has consistently been among the top-performing elementary schools in the state, with strong academic achievement in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA).

Carterville Elementary's academic performance stands out, with 50% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 44.4%. Similarly, 53.3% of 3rd-grade students and 56% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, exceeding the state averages. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (57.32%), the school has been effective in serving this population, ranking in the top 72 out of 625 Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup.

While Carterville Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of other elementary schools in the Webb City R-VII district, such as Harry S. Truman Elementary and Eugene Field Elementary, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10% in 2022-2023 to 15.9% in 2023-2024. This is an area of concern that the school may need to address to maintain its strong academic 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.
