Summary:
The Gateway Science Academy/St Louis district in Missouri contains two elementary schools: Gateway Science Academy-South Ele and Gateway Science Academy/St Louis. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade.
Based on the data analysis, the standout school in the district appears to be Gateway Science Academy/St Louis, which has consistently higher test scores compared to the state average and its counterpart, Gateway Science Academy-South Ele. Gateway Science Academy/St Louis also has a higher statewide school ranking, with a 4-star rating, compared to the 1-star rating for Gateway Science Academy-South Ele.
However, both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates exceeding 35%. Additionally, Gateway Science Academy-South Ele serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with a significantly higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients. Understanding the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two schools and addressing the chronic absenteeism issue could be key focus areas for the district to improve educational outcomes for all students.
