Summary:
The Crossroads Charter Schools district in Missouri operates two elementary schools: Crossroads - Central Street and Crossroads - Quality Hill. Both schools serve students in grades K-6 and face significant challenges in academic performance and student attendance.
Neither Crossroads - Central Street nor Crossroads - Quality Hill are performing well compared to other Missouri elementary schools. Both schools rank relatively low on the statewide SchoolDigger scale, with Crossroads - Central Street ranked 686 out of 900 and Crossroads - Quality Hill ranked 811 out of 900 for the 2024-2025 school year. Proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science are well below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.6% of 6th graders at Crossroads - Central Street were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5%.
Another major concern is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, with 47.7% of students at each school chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, both schools have a high proportion of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates of 63.2% at Crossroads - Central Street and 61.2% at Crossroads - Quality Hill. Despite the relatively high spending per student, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized.
