Summary:
The Guadalupe Centers Elementary is the sole elementary school in the Guadalupe Centers Schools district in Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 791 students. Despite the school's high per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, its academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Guadalupe Centers Elementary is ranked 879 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1% for the 2023-2024 school year, which likely contributes to the low academic performance. In 2024-2025, only 6.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.8%.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 99.62% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the high per-student spending and small class sizes suggest a focus on resource allocation, the school is not achieving the desired academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions or changes in instructional practices to improve student learning and achievement.
