Elementary Schools in Elsberry R-II

Summary:

The Elsberry R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Clarence Cannon Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 310 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Clarence Cannon Elementary's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades well below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 14.2% compared to the state average of 41.4%, and its 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 36% compared to the state average of 43.8%. Similarly, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 14.1% compared to the state average of 41.8%, and its 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 38.2% compared to the state average of 44.8%. The school's performance in the 2023-2024 school year was also below the state averages in both Mathematics and ELA for 3rd and 4th grades.

Additionally, Clarence Cannon Elementary has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and a relatively high percentage of students (42.9%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($12,154) and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 12.2), these factors have not been sufficient to overcome the school's academic challenges. The data suggests that Clarence Cannon Elementary requires significant improvements in instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student success.
