Elementary Schools in Fredericktown R-I

The Fredericktown R-I school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Fredericktown Intermediate (grades 3-5) and Fredericktown Elementary (grades PK-2). Both schools are performing at a similar level, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and relatively comparable test scores and other metrics.

Fredericktown Intermediate's statewide rank has fluctuated between 309 and 375 out of around 900 Missouri elementary schools over the past few years. In both mathematics and English language arts, the proficiency rates for Fredericktown Intermediate students are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages for the corresponding grade levels. For 5th-grade science, Fredericktown Intermediate's proficiency rate is above the state average. Both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 60% in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the two schools have maintained a consistent 3-star rating, they both face a challenge with a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Fredericktown Elementary spends more per student ($11,119) compared to Fredericktown Intermediate ($8,970) based on the 2021-2022 data, but the reasons for this discrepancy are not clear from the available information. Overall, the data suggests that the Fredericktown R-I district may benefit from further analysis and exploration of the factors contributing to the observed differences in performance and resource allocation between the two elementary schools.
