Summary:
The Iron County C-4 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Viburnum Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and faces significant challenges, including mixed academic performance, high rates of socioeconomic disadvantage, and a need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and improvement strategies.
Viburnum Elementary is ranked 615 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 4th grade math proficiency above the state average but 5th grade math, science, and English Language Arts proficiency significantly below the state averages. The school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 70.07%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges for its student population.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, Viburnum Elementary has not made significant improvements in its performance over the past few years. This suggests that the school and district may need to implement more comprehensive and sustained improvement strategies to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges facing the school and better serve its students.
