Summary:
The Bloomfield R-XIV school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Bloomfield Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 258 students. While Bloomfield Elementary was previously a higher-performing school, its ranking and rating have declined significantly in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating in the most recent years.
Academically, Bloomfield Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades are consistently below the state averages for Missouri. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9%, which can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, over 50% of Bloomfield Elementary students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's declining performance, Bloomfield Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student ($10,626) compared to the state average. This suggests that the issue may not be solely related to funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. The school's challenges present significant obstacles, and further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.
