Summary

Blue Eye Elementary is a public elementary school serving 179 students in grades PK-4 in Blue Eye, Missouri, which is part of the Blue Eye R-V school district. While the district is ranked 156 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Blue Eye Elementary faces several key challenges that set it apart from nearby schools.

One significant issue is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 13.8% in 2021-2022 to a concerning 30.3% in 2023-2024. This is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Reeds Spring Primary (27.9%) and Hollister Elementary (28.6%). Additionally, Blue Eye Elementary's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades have consistently fallen below the state averages, with only 24.4% of 3rd graders and 38.1% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 41.4% and 43.8%, respectively.

Another factor that sets Blue Eye Elementary apart is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.81% to 57.58% over the past few years. This is higher than the rates at nearby schools like Reeds Spring Primary (54.86%) and Hollister Elementary (67.17%). While the school's per-student spending has increased from $12,666 in 2019-2020 to $16,376 in 2021-2022, this is still higher than the spending at some nearby schools, such as Reeds Spring Elementary ($11,539) and Buchanan Elementary ($9,927).
