Summary:
The 64090 zip code area has only one school, Strasburg Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 126 students. Strasburg Elementary's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly in recent years. Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the school's challenges include chronic absenteeism rates above 16%.
Strasburg Elementary's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) lags behind state averages, with proficiency rates as low as 28.7% in 7th grade mathematics compared to the state average of 40.6%. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 262 out of 1,045 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 760 out of 908 in 2021-2022, indicating inconsistent performance over time. While the school's per-student spending of $11,123 is above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.5 is relatively low, these factors have not translated into improved student outcomes.
A key concern for Strasburg Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be a priority for the school and the Strasburg C-3 district. Overall, the analysis suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student performance and address the challenges it faces.
