Summary:
The Adrian R-III school district in Missouri has a single elementary school, Adrian Elementary, serving students from preschool through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with 3rd-grade students performing above the state average in Math and English Language Arts, but 4th and 5th-grade students struggling to meet state benchmarks, particularly in Math and Science.
Adrian Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 374 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 628 out of 906 in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $9,874, and it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.56% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6% in 2023-2024 is a concern, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that Adrian Elementary faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in the upper grade levels and in certain subject areas. The school's socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing to these challenges and should be addressed through targeted interventions and resource allocation. Continued monitoring of the school's performance and identifying areas for improvement will be crucial for supporting student success.
