Summary:

Westran Elementary is a public elementary school located in Huntsville, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 298 students. The school is part of the Westran R-I school district, which is ranked 124 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Westran Elementary has shown strong performance in certain subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 74.4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in MAP/Mathematics, significantly higher than the state average of 38.4%. In the 2022-2023 school year, 59.6% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in MAP/Science, compared to the state average of 40.9%. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts has been more mixed, with 3rd-grade and 5th-grade proficiency rates below the state average in recent years. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.39% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, Westran Elementary has performed well for its low-income student population, ranking 85 out of 574 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 for this subgroup, with a 4-star rating.

Westran Elementary generally outperforms the nearby Madison Elementary and Higbee Elementary schools in terms of student performance and school rankings. However, the nearby Middle Grove Elementary and Salisbury Elementary schools have shown stronger overall performance, with Salisbury Elementary ranked 249 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools in 2023-2024. Westran Elementary's school ranking and performance have fluctuated over the years, and the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.8% to 21.5% in recent years, may be an area of concern that the school could further investigate and address.

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.
