Summary:
The Galena R-II school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Galena-Abesville Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 216 students. The school has consistently performed significantly below the state averages on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas over the past two school years, suggesting it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Galena-Abesville Elementary is ranked 748th out of 900 Missouri elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the MAP tests has been consistently low, with proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English Language Arts well below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (62.04%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ($11,332) and low student-teacher ratio (9.7), the data suggests that the district may not be effectively allocating resources to improve student outcomes. The school's ranking and rating have remained consistently low over the past three school years, with no significant improvement, indicating that the school is facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed through a comprehensive, data-driven approach.
