Summary:

The city of Gerald, Missouri has only one school, Gerald Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Gasconade County R-II school district. The data suggests that Gerald Elementary is underperforming compared to the district and state averages, with low statewide rankings, below-average test scores, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate.

In 2024-2025, only 12.9% of 5th graders at Gerald Elementary were proficient or better in Math, compared to 21.7% for the district and 38.2% statewide. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9% in 2023-2024, which is a concerning metric.

Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be allocating resources towards smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.8 in 2023-2024, which is relatively low compared to national averages. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.47% in 2023-2024) indicates that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be contributing to its underperformance.
