Best Public Schools in Holts Summit, MO

Summary:

The city of Holts Summit, Missouri is home to two elementary schools: North Elementary and Callaway Hills Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Jefferson City school district.

Based on the available data, Callaway Hills Elementary appears to be the stronger-performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to North Elementary. Callaway Hills has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the 547th ranked elementary school in Missouri in 2022-2023 to the 433rd ranked in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Callaway Hills outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, including 5th grade math and science.

However, both schools face challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates, around 22%, and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 50% at each school. These factors may require additional resources and support to ensure all students have the necessary tools to succeed. The difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Callaway Hills spending nearly $1,150 more per student, may contribute to its stronger performance, and investigating how these funds are allocated could provide insights into effective resource utilization.
