Wildwood Elementary

Summary:

Wildwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sarcoxie, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 285 students. The school is part of the Sarcoxie R-II School District, which is ranked 116 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wildwood Elementary stands out for its strong performance in supporting low socioeconomic status (SES) students, consistently ranking in the top 10-15% among Missouri elementary schools in this area. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 61 out of 625 Missouri elementary schools for low SES student performance, with a 5-star rating. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Academically, Wildwood Elementary's overall performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages in mathematics and English language arts, but its 4th-grade mathematics performance has been consistently lower than the state average.

Comparing Wildwood Elementary to nearby schools provides valuable context. The school's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Granby Elementary, which has consistently lower academic proficiency rates. However, Wildwood lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Monett Elementary and Steadley Elementary, in certain areas like 3rd-grade English language arts. Wildwood Elementary's higher spending per student and smaller class sizes may be contributing factors to its overall performance.

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.
