Elementary Schools in Fayette R-III

Summary:

The Fayette R-III school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Laurence J. Daly Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance on state assessments and other key metrics suggests there is room for improvement in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Laurence J. Daly Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts (ELA) lagging behind the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 32%, compared to the state average of 43.8%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.75% in the 2023-2024 school year.

The data also reveals that Laurence J. Daly Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 18%, which is a relatively high rate and may be an area of concern for the school and district. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is lower than the state average, the overall performance and resource allocation suggest that the district and state may need to provide additional support and resources to help improve the school's outcomes and better serve its students.
