Summary:
The Laclede County R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Ezard Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The district is ranked 176 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Ezard Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three school years, dropping from 449 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 511 out of 906 schools in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating. The school's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are generally below the state averages in most subjects and grade levels, indicating academic challenges. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% and a high percentage of students (52.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting socioeconomic factors may be impacting student performance.
Despite these challenges, Ezard Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1, and its spending per student of $9,652 in the 2021-2022 school year is lower than the state average. These factors suggest the school may be facing resource constraints that could be limiting its ability to provide comprehensive support and interventions for its students. Overall, the data suggests that Laclede County R-I and Ezard Elementary could benefit from targeted efforts to address the academic and attendance challenges faced by the school.
