Dr. Henry Givens Junior Elementary

Summary:

Dr. Henry Givens Junior Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 259 students in grades K-5 and part of the highly-ranked Webster Groves School District.

The school has a diverse student population, with 51.35% White, 32.43% African American, 3.86% Hispanic, and 11.58% two or more races. This racial diversity is unique compared to nearby schools like Clark Elementary and Bristol Elementary, which have a higher percentage of White students. Dr. Henry Givens Junior Elementary also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (27.41%) than nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 11.8 over the past three years.

The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with fluctuating proficiency rates and statewide rankings over the years. While the school has shown strong performance in some areas, such as 5th-grade English Language Arts, it has struggled in others, like 3rd-grade Mathematics. This inconsistency suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and improved student outcomes. Addressing the unique needs of the diverse student population and ensuring equitable educational opportunities will be crucial for the school's continued growth and success.

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.
