Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also significantly below state averages, with only 40.9% and 27.3% of LaSalle Elementary students proficient or better, and just 14.4% and 7.9% of Parkview Junior High students proficient or better in those subjects, respectively.
The schools also face socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (73.91% at LaSalle Elementary and 77.13% at Parkview Junior High in 2023-2024). Despite relatively high spending per student ($14,829 at LaSalle Elementary and $15,876 at Parkview Junior High), the schools are still struggling to improve academic outcomes, which may indicate issues with resource allocation or the effective use of funds. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and improving attendance may be crucial steps in enhancing the quality of education for students in the Creve Coeur area.
