Elementary Schools in Gallatin R-V

Summary:

The Gallatin R-V school district in Missouri has one elementary school, Covel D. Searcy Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 221 students.

Covel D. Searcy Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8% is higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others are below. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates it is performing below average compared to other Missouri elementary schools.

The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 49.32% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and attendance challenges. While the school's spending per student of $12,026 is higher than the state average, it's unclear if this additional funding is being used effectively to improve student outcomes.
