Based on the available data, Richwoods Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Richwoods Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is significantly below the state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 5th grade Mathematics, the school scored 25% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 38.4%. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 95.7% and a high percentage of students (99.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, Richwoods Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student ($16,279) compared to the state average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to ensure that funds are being used in the most impactful way to support student learning. Addressing the challenges faced by Richwoods Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the school and its student population.
