Summary:
The Canton R-V school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Canton Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 264 students. While the school's 3rd grade academic proficiency rates are slightly above the state average, its performance in 4th and 6th grade mathematics is significantly below the Missouri average, suggesting potential areas for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices.
Canton Elementary has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and its ranking within the state has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 547 out of 908 schools in 2021-2022 to 572 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.6%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, with nearly half of the student population receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with a significant proportion of students from low-income households, which may present unique challenges and considerations for the school in terms of resource allocation and support services.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $11,219 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, the academic performance data indicates that these investments may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes across all grade levels. Continued analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these areas of concern and improve the school's overall performance.
