Summary:
The city of Chesterfield, Missouri is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area display a range of academic performance, with several standout institutions like Marquette Senior High and Chesterfield Elementary ranking among the top schools in the state. However, the data also reveals significant disparities in test scores and other metrics across the district.
Marquette Senior High and Central High both have impressive 4-year graduation rates above 95% and low dropout rates of 0.9%. The two high schools also demonstrate parity in their academic performance, with strong test scores that exceed state and district averages. In contrast, the elementary schools in Chesterfield show a wider range of academic achievement, with Chesterfield Elementary and Kehrs Mill Elementary standing out as top performers, while schools like River Bend Elementary and Green Trails Elementary lag behind.
The data also reveals that per-student spending does not necessarily correlate with academic performance, as Marquette Senior High has the lowest spending but the highest test scores, while Central Middle has the highest spending but lower performance than West Middle. Overall, the Chesterfield school district, which includes schools from both the Rockwood R-VI and Parkway C-2 districts, demonstrates a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, highlighting the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these disparities.
