Summary:
The Verona R-Vii school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Verona Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 170 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, its academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is consistently below the Missouri state averages, particularly in mathematics.
Verona Elementary is ranked 561 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school has a high percentage of students (67.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and could be an area for targeted support and resources.
Despite the school's challenges, its higher per-student spending of $11,613 suggests that the district is investing resources into the school. However, the data indicates that these resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for students. To address these issues, the school and district may need to focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of the academic struggles, implementing targeted interventions, and ensuring that resources are being utilized effectively to support student learning.
