Boone Trail Elementary

Summary:

Boone Trail Elementary is a public elementary school in Wentzville, Missouri, serving 535 students in grades K-5 and part of the highly-ranked Wentzville R-IV School District. While Boone Trail consistently outperforms the district and state on academic assessments, it has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, raising questions about equity and access.

Boone Trail Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with students demonstrating higher proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests compared to the Wentzville district and the state of Missouri. For example, in 2022-2023, 61.4% of Boone Trail's 5th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, well above the district's 52.7% and the state's 44.1%. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.51% to 13.18% over the past three years, significantly less than some nearby schools like Heritage Primary and Heritage Intermediate, which have rates over 25%.

While Boone Trail Elementary's academic performance is impressive, its racial makeup is not representative of the surrounding community, with 85.79% of students being white, compared to nearby schools ranging from 68.84% to 89.61% white students. This disparity suggests potential equity and access issues that the Wentzville R-IV School District may need to address. Additionally, Boone Trail's higher per-student spending, ranging from $11,542 to $14,191 over the past four years, may contribute to its strong academic results, but also raises questions about the accessibility and support for economically disadvantaged students in the area.

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.
