Citizens Of The World Charter

The Citizens Of The World Charter school district in Missouri operates two schools: one elementary school and one middle school. Based on the available data, these schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students.

Both the elementary and middle schools have consistently low performance across multiple metrics. Their proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly below the state averages, ranging from 12.9% to 37.4% proficient compared to state averages of 38.2% to 45.5%. Additionally, both schools have an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.6%, which is much higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the schools are facing significant challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.

The high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, 66.09% at the elementary school and 69.63% at the middle school, indicate that the student population comes from predominantly low-income families. While this does not directly explain the schools' performance, it highlights the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of the student population. The district's approach to funding and resource allocation may also be a contributing factor, as the elementary school spends $14,445 per student, while the middle school spends $11,251 per student. Overall, the data suggests that the Citizens Of The World Charter schools in this district require a comprehensive and effective strategy to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners.
