Best Public Schools in Dittmer, MO

Summary:

The city of Dittmer, Missouri has one public elementary school, Maple Grove Elementary, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Northwest R-I school district. While the district is ranked 129 out of 386 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Maple Grove Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 186th out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 417th out of 906 in 2023-2024.

One potential factor contributing to Maple Grove Elementary's declining performance is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7%, which is above state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are mixed, with some grades performing above the state and district averages in math and English language arts, while others are below. This suggests the school may have room for improvement in ensuring consistent academic achievement across all grade levels.

With nearly half of the student population (46.08%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Maple Grove Elementary serves a relatively high-need student population, which could be a factor in the school's academic performance and may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students. Overall, the data suggests that Maple Grove Elementary is facing some challenges, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve and better serve its students.
