Wabash Elementary

Q: Is Wabash Elementary a good school?

Wabash Elementary ranks 279 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Wabash Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wentzville, Missouri, serving 775 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Wentzville R-IV School District, which is ranked 36th out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Wabash Elementary's performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 51% for the Wentzville R-IV district and 40.8% for the state of Missouri. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 23.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Wabash Elementary's performance is better than some nearby schools in the Fort Zumwalt and Wright City R-II districts, such as Flint Hill Elementary and Wright City East Elementary.

Wabash Elementary's relatively higher socioeconomic status compared to some nearby schools may be a factor in its academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic factors can influence educational outcomes. The school could benefit from implementing strategies to address the high chronic absenteeism rate, as well as providing additional support and resources for its Special Education and Disabled student populations, which are the areas where Wabash Elementary is performing the weakest compared to other Missouri elementary schools. By addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, Wabash Elementary has the potential to enhance its educational outcomes and better serve its student population.

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.
