Summary:
The Dunklin R-V school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Pevely Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 708 students. While Pevely Elementary has a relatively high spending per student of $13,749, its academic performance on state assessments has been consistently lower than the Missouri state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts.
Pevely Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 386 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 569 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023 and 584 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. With a free and reduced lunch rate of over 50%, Pevely Elementary serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
Overall, the data suggests that Pevely Elementary is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and student attendance, despite the relatively high spending per student. The school may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting economically disadvantaged students to improve outcomes for its students.
