Elementary Schools in Allen Village

The Allen Village area in Missouri is home to three elementary schools: Allen Village Elementary Academy, Allen Village Primary Academy, and Allen Village Preschool. Unfortunately, the data suggests these schools are struggling, with low test scores, high rates of economic disadvantage, and overall poor performance compared to state averages.

The test scores at Allen Village Elementary Academy are significantly below state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.4%. The science proficiency rate for 5th graders is also low, at 16.8% compared to the state average of 42.2%. All three schools have very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 75% at Allen Village Preschool to 94.59% at Allen Village Primary Academy, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.

Despite the high spending per student, around $14,000 at Allen Village Elementary Academy and Allen Village Primary Academy, the schools are struggling to achieve academic success. Both Allen Village Elementary Academy and Allen Village Primary Academy also have high chronic absenteeism rates of 11.1% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to the low performance. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and overall conditions of the elementary schools in the Allen Village area, suggesting a need for significant improvement and support to address the challenges faced by these schools and their students.
