North Side Community School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade mathematics, only 17.9% of students are proficient, compared to the Missouri average of 40.8%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 36.0%, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($16,147 for the 2021-2022 school year) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4, the data suggests that these resources are not being effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past three school years, from 719 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 814 out of 906 in 2023-2024, indicating that the school may be struggling to improve or maintain its performance.
