Elementary Schools in The Biome

Summary:

The Biome is the sole elementary school located in The Biome, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 161 students. This public charter school has faced significant challenges, ranking 854 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Biome has seen a declining rank over the past three years, dropping from 752 in 2022-2023 to 802 in 2023-2024 and now 854 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance is extremely low across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 5.5% of 3rd graders, 15.5% of 4th graders, and 3.9% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 41.4%, 43.8%, and 38.2%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 47.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the high per-student spending of $17,859 for the 2021-2022 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.1, The Biome is struggling to provide a quality education to its predominantly low-income student population, with 77.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's declining statewide ranking and lack of improvement in test scores over time suggest that significant changes or interventions may be needed to address the root causes of its poor performance and better support its students.
