Summary:
The Grandview C-4 school district in Missouri is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. While the district as a whole ranks 283 out of 386 in the state, a few schools stand out as top performers. Meadowmere Elementary and Belvidere Elementary consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and English language arts.
However, the data also reveals significant achievement gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools in the district. For example, in 3rd grade math, 45.8% of students at Meadowmere were proficient or better, compared to just 11.8% at Conn-West Elementary. This disparity seems to correlate with the schools' free and reduced-price lunch rates, which range from 64.63% at Belvidere to 77.74% at Butcher-Greene Elementary.
Another area of concern is the district's high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.2% across all 5 elementary schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Addressing attendance issues and providing additional support to the lower-performing schools should be top priorities for the Grandview C-4 district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
