Summary:
The Orchard Farm R-V school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Orchard Farm Elementary and Discovery Elementary. Based on the available data, Orchard Farm Elementary appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years, while Discovery Elementary has ranked in the top 35%.
Orchard Farm Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in both math and English language arts (ELA) across all grade levels, with particularly strong math scores. In contrast, Discovery Elementary lags behind the district and state averages in math and ELA, with the exception of 4th grade ELA, where it outperforms the district and state. The per-student spending is similar between the two schools, but Orchard Farm Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15:1 compared to Discovery Elementary's 12.6:1 ratio.
The data suggests that the difference in performance between the two schools may be influenced by socioeconomic factors, as Orchard Farm Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.64%) compared to Discovery Elementary (31.33%). This indicates that Orchard Farm Elementary serves a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its higher academic performance. Further analysis of the factors driving these differences could provide valuable insights for the Orchard Farm R-V school district's educational strategies and resource allocation.
