Summary:
The 63023 zip code in Missouri has only one public elementary school, Maple Grove Elementary, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 395 students. The school is part of the Northwest R-I school district, which is ranked 129 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Maple Grove Elementary has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, it also has areas of concern. The school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across grades 3-5, with its strongest performance in 4th-grade mathematics and weakest in 3rd-grade English language arts. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7%, and a relatively high percentage of students (46.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($11,213) and the relatively low student-teacher ratio, Maple Grove Elementary is not performing as well as the district and state averages on standardized tests. This may suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing ratios are impacting the school's academic outcomes. To improve the school's performance, the district and school leaders may need to investigate the root causes of these issues and implement targeted interventions to address the specific needs of the school's student population.
