Summary:
The zip code 63862 contains only one school, Lilbourn Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 236 students. The school is part of the New Madrid County R-I school district, which is ranked 302 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lilbourn Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 14.8% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school's performance is also below the district averages in most cases. Additionally, Lilbourn Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.5% and a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,979 and a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 12.5, Lilbourn Elementary is still struggling to improve academic outcomes. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to explore alternative strategies or interventions to address the underlying issues and support the school's improvement.
