Summary:
The city of Saint Ann, Missouri is home to 4 schools - 2 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, all part of the Pattonville R-III and Ritenour school districts. While the schools serve a high-poverty student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 49.52% to 99.26%, some schools stand out in their academic performance.
Buder Elementary is a standout, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and strong math proficiency, despite having the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, Hoech Middle has the lowest proficiency rates in both math and English Language Arts, despite having the lowest student-to-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as school resources and support, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
The data also highlights significant disparities in school performance within the same geographic area, with the Pattonville R-III schools generally outperforming the Ritenour schools. Understanding the broader context and challenges faced by these schools, such as socioeconomic factors, is crucial in interpreting the data and identifying appropriate interventions or support.
