Westview Elementary

Summary:

Westview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Neosho, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 109 students. The school is part of the Westview C-6 School District, which is ranked 337 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 12.4% to 24.7%), consistently low academic performance on MAP tests (with only 20% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.8%), and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 54.07% to 70.63%). While the school has relatively high spending per student (ranging from $9,544 to $12,415), its performance has declined over the years, with a ranking of 750 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools in 2023-2024, down from 288 out of 1,045 schools in 2017-2018.

Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Diamond Elementary and Irving Elementary, perform better on these metrics, suggesting that factors beyond the school's immediate environment may be contributing to Westview's challenges. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the low academic performance, indicates that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's struggles, and a more targeted approach to addressing the specific needs of the student population may be necessary.

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.
