Summary:
The Green Ridge R-VIII school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Green Ridge Elementary, serving students from grades K-6. The school's academic performance and ranking have seen a decline in recent years, with mixed results compared to state and district averages.
While Green Ridge Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, the school spends more per student and has a lower student-to-teacher ratio than the state average. However, these additional resources have not translated into consistently strong academic outcomes, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts where proficiency rates are significantly below the state average.
The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 218th out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 316th out of 898 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars out of 5 to 3 stars out of 5 over the same period. These declines suggest that Green Ridge Elementary may need to review its curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to address the areas of academic underperformance and improve student success.
