The school is part of the North St. Francois County R-I school district, which is ranked 271 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North County Parkside Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 26.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of some nearby schools like Sunrise Elementary (10.2%) and Bismarck R-V Elementary (15.1%). The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for both 3rd and 4th grades are consistently below the state averages and the scores of nearby higher-performing schools like Roosevelt Elementary and Jefferson Elementary in the Farmington R-VII district. Additionally, North County Parkside Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.27% to 62.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the rates of some nearby schools.

The school's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from a high of 388 out of 1,089 Missouri elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 605 out of 906 in 2023-2024, suggests a concerning trend. The high rates of chronic absenteeism, free and reduced lunch, and student-teacher ratio at North County Parkside Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby higher-performing schools, despite its proximity to them.

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.
