Elementary Schools in Premier Charter School

Premier Charter School is the sole elementary school located in the Premier Charter School District in Saint Louis, Missouri. The school serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 918 students. While the district is ranked 223 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the performance of Premier Charter School raises some concerns.

Premier Charter School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts, is consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. The school's mathematics proficiency rates range from 16.2% to 36.1%, well below the state averages of 30.6% to 44.4%. Similarly, the school's science proficiency rates for grades 5 and 8 are 19.7% and 31.7%, respectively, lower than the state averages of 40.8% and 35.7%. In English language arts, the school's proficiency rates range from 27% to 49.3%, with most grades performing below the state averages of 37.6% to 46.2%.

Additionally, Premier Charter School faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.7%, significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 54.36% of students receiving free and reduced lunch. Despite the low academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, $14,730, compared to the state average. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and address the underlying factors contributing to the poor academic outcomes.
