Summary:
The Elsberry R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Clarence Cannon Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 313 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Academically, Clarence Cannon Elementary has struggled, with student proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts falling well below the state averages over the past two school years. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which can contribute to lower academic achievement. Additionally, a large percentage of the student population, nearly 54%, is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic disadvantages that may impact student learning.
Despite the relatively high level of spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains below the state average, indicating that the allocation of resources may not be effectively addressing the needs of the student population. Targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's practices and support systems may be necessary to improve outcomes for the students at Clarence Cannon Elementary.
