Adrian Elementary

Q: Is Adrian Elementary a good school?

Adrian Elementary ranks 628 th of 906 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Adrian Elementary is a public elementary school located in Adrian, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 313 students. The school is part of the Adrian R-III school district, which is ranked 264 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Adrian Elementary has seen a steady decline in its academic performance, dropping from a high statewide ranking of 23rd out of 865 Missouri elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 628th out of 906 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state average across all grade levels, and it also underperforms compared to surrounding schools like Midway Elementary, Harrisonville Elementary, and McEowen Elementary. Additionally, Adrian Elementary has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

Another area of concern at Adrian Elementary is the elevated chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 9.6% to 14.1% in recent years, higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. The school's per-student spending is also lower than the nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio is generally higher, which may be impacting the school's ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions, data-driven decision-making, and collaboration with the community and district stakeholders could help Adrian Elementary improve student outcomes and better serve its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
