Summary:
The Neosho School District in Missouri is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of academic performance across these schools, with Goodman Elementary standing out as a high-performing school, while the other 3 schools - George Washington Carver Elementary, Benton Elementary, and South Elementary - generally perform below district and state averages.
Goodman Elementary is the clear standout, ranking 154 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade students demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in Math and ELA exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, the other 3 schools struggle to meet these benchmarks, suggesting a significant disparity in student outcomes across the district.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all 4 elementary schools, with each reporting a rate of 19.8% - significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the data reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as the schools with higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients generally perform worse than the school with a more economically diverse student population. These insights highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic performance challenges within the Neosho School District.
