Summary:
The Wright City R-II Of Warren County school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Wright City West Elementary and Wright City East Elementary. While both schools serve young students, they have distinct characteristics that set them apart.
Wright City West Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperformed the state average in Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency for grades 3-5. However, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 13.5, which may impact the level of individualized attention students receive. In contrast, Wright City East Elementary serves a younger student population, with only grades K-1, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7, suggesting a greater emphasis on personalized learning for the early grades.
Both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with 26.0% of students being chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year. This is a significant concern that the district may need to address to improve student engagement and academic outcomes. Additionally, the funding differences between the two schools, with Wright City East Elementary spending more per student ($13,874) compared to Wright City West Elementary ($12,046), may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
