Elementary Schools in Exeter R-VI

Summary:

The Exeter R-VI school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Exeter Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been consistently low, ranking in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools over the past three school years.

Exeter Elementary's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate was 33.4%, compared to the state average of 43.8%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 74.56% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school serves a predominantly low-income population.

While Exeter Elementary is the only elementary school in the Exeter R-VI district, its consistently low performance and socioeconomic challenges indicate that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and instructional strategies to improve student learning. Addressing the school's low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism rate could have a meaningful impact on the district's overall educational outcomes.
