Summary:
The Atlanta C-3 school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Atlanta Elementary. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking of 24th out of 1,045 schools in 2017-2018 and 43rd out of 1,052 schools in 2018-2019. In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 265th out of 906 Missouri elementary schools, still placing it in the top 30% statewide.
Atlanta Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong in Mathematics, with 90% of 4th-grade students proficient or better on the MAP test in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 44.4%. The school also outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for 4th-grade students, with 70% proficient or better compared to the state's 46.2%. However, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 20% in 2023-2024 is significantly lower than the state average of 40.8%, indicating an area for improvement.
While Atlanta Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% and a free and reduced lunch rate of 41.51%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10:1 in the 2022-2023 school year may contribute to its strong academic outcomes, but the school should continue to monitor and address areas of potential concern, such as science proficiency and chronic absenteeism, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
