Elementary Schools in Doniphan R-I

Summary:

The Doniphan R-I school district in Missouri operates two elementary schools: Doniphan Elementary (grades PK-2) and Doniphan Intermediate (grades 3-5). Both schools serve a high-need student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Based on the available data, Doniphan Intermediate appears to be the stronger-performing school in the district. It has a higher statewide ranking, with a 4-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Doniphan Elementary's 1-star rating. Doniphan Intermediate also outperforms the state and district averages in several MAP test proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics and science.

However, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.2%. Additionally, while Doniphan Elementary spends more per student ($10,612) compared to Doniphan Intermediate ($8,109), the reasons for this difference are unclear and warrant further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district.
