Elementary Schools in Westview C-6

The Westview C-6 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Westview Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has faced significant academic challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 288th out of 1,045 Missouri elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 750th out of 906 in 2023-2024.

Westview Elementary's performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts well below the state averages. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in Math (20%) and English Language Arts (30%) were significantly lower than the state averages (40.8% and 41.6%, respectively). The school's 4th grade Math proficiency rate (14.3%) was also much lower than the state average (44.4%). This trend of low test scores has persisted, with the school's 3rd grade Math proficiency rate (7.6%) and 5th grade Math proficiency rate (13.4%) in 2022-2023 being well below the state averages (41.1% and 39.1%, respectively).

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($12,415 in 2021-2022, higher than the state average) and low student-teacher ratio (8.8 in 2022-2023), the academic performance remains poor. Additionally, Westview Elementary has a high percentage of students (65.14% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant economic challenges. The combination of low test scores, high poverty levels, and declining performance suggests that Westview C-6 may need to implement a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's academic struggles.
