Summary:
The 65612 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Bois D'Arc Elementary, which serves grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 144 students. The school demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, but faces some challenges in English language arts proficiency among its upper elementary students.
Bois D'Arc Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 93.75% of students identifying as white. The school's 4th grade math proficiency rate of 48% matches the Ash Grove R-IV district average and exceeds the state average, while the 6th grade math proficiency rate of 55.8% also surpasses the state average. In science, the 5th grade proficiency rate of 54.9% is significantly higher than the state average of 40.9%. However, the 5th and 6th grade English language arts (ELA) proficiency rates of 41.2% and 34.9%, respectively, fall below the state averages.
With 47.22% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Bois D'Arc Elementary serves a relatively high-need student population. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 may contribute to its strong performance in certain subject areas, but the declining ELA proficiency rates in the upper grades suggest a need to focus on improving English language arts instruction and support for older elementary students.
