Callaway Hills Elementary

Summary:

Callaway Hills Elementary is a public elementary school located in Holts Summit, Missouri, serving 241 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jefferson City School District, which is ranked 153 out of 386 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Callaway Hills Elementary faces several challenges compared to other schools in the district. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.9% to 26.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Cedar Hill Elementary and South Elementary. Additionally, the school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Jefferson City district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 26.7%, compared to the district's 32.1% and the state's 40.8%. Callaway Hills Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.46% to 98.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Callaway Hills Elementary, ranging from $11,493 to $12,744 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains lower than the district and state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school and Jefferson City School District may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and the unique needs of the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged student population will likely be key to improving the performance of Callaway Hills Elementary.

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.
