Summary:
The Elementary School is the sole elementary school within the Citizens Of The World Charter district in Missouri. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
The Elementary School has consistently low proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades, well below the state averages. Its ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently standing at 718 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.6%, indicating that a significant portion of its students are missing a substantial amount of instructional time.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1 and a higher per-student spending of $14,445 compared to the state average. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices and support systems. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 66.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can present additional barriers to student success.
