Summary:
The Boonville R-I school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Hannah Cole Primary, serving grades PK-2, and David Barton Elementary, serving grades 3-5. While both schools have a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, they do not stand out as exceptional performers within the district or the state.
Academically, both Hannah Cole Primary and David Barton Elementary consistently underperform compared to the state averages on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests in mathematics, science, and English language arts. David Barton Elementary's performance is slightly better than the Boonville R-I district average in some subject areas, but still lags behind the state. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 18.9%, which may contribute to their academic challenges.
The funding disparity between the two schools, with Hannah Cole Primary spending $11,417 per student and David Barton Elementary spending $9,859 per student, suggests potential inequities within the district that could impact the resources and support available to students. Overall, the data indicates that the Boonville R-I school district, and specifically its elementary schools, face significant challenges in providing high-quality education and supporting student success, likely due to a combination of socioeconomic factors and systemic issues within the district.
